Description
The AASLD Foundation Pilot Research Award in Hepatocellular Carcinoma, supported by the Jou Family Memorial Fund, is designed to catalyze groundbreaking research in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The award targets early- to mid-career faculty with novel, high-risk/high-reward projects—especially those related to HCC biomarkers—that lack sufficient preliminary data for major external funding. The intent is to generate foundational data to position investigators for future, larger-scale grants and advance the field of HCC research.
