Description
The Global Oncology Young Investigator Award (GO YIA) is designed to encourage and support early-career researchers engaged in innovative, high-impact research that addresses cancer control, care, and related issues in global and resource-limited settings. This mentored award aims to develop the next generation of oncology researchers worldwide, supporting projects such as clinical and translational research, care delivery innovation, prevention and palliative care, implementation science, and health systems or outcomes research. Projects may be led by investigators in low-resource settings, by those in high-resource settings investigating issues relevant to resource-limited contexts, or through collaborative global partnerships.
