Description
The John Quale Travel Fellowship, administered by the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN), helps early-career investigators cover travel costs to attend the annual Bladder Cancer Think Tank Meeting. It supports meeting participation rather than research project expenses. The program engages individuals interested in bladder cancer research across basic and translational science, urology, medical and radiation oncology, radiology, pathology, and other disciplines.
The Think Tank brings physicians, scientists, patient advocates, and industry partners together to strengthen collaboration in bladder cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Fellows can learn from leaders in the field, exchange ideas, present their work, seek mentorship, and identify potential collaborators. Scientific presentations, small-group discussions, and networking activities focus on advancing research and improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
