Description
The Young Investigator Award (YIA) is offered by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) through its Conquer Cancer Grants & Awards program. It provides funding to promising investigators to encourage and promote quality research in clinical oncology, supporting physicians as they transition from a fellowship program to a faculty appointment.
The award accepts applications in all areas of cancer research, rather than focusing on a particular cancer type or research topic. Scientific mentorship is central to the award, combining support for a cancer research project with a mentored approach to investigation. The YIA forms part of a broader program supporting clinical and translational cancer research by physician-scientists throughout their careers.
