The Next Gen Clinician Scientist Grant is a career-development program run by Fondazione AIRC per la Ricerca sul Cancro, the Foundation for Cancer Research in Italy. It supports a new generation of talented physician-scientists who wish to develop and manage investigator-driven clinical research projects, with the ultimate aim of optimizing clinical practice.
The program places independent clinical investigation at the center of its support, enabling young physician-researchers to take responsibility for their own projects over five years. Active projects are hosted at universities, university hospitals, and specialist research institutions across Italy. The grant forms part of AIRC’s broader support for cancer research and researchers at different stages of their careers.
