The AACR‐The ASCO Cancer Foundation Young Investigator Translational Cancer Research Award provides funding to promising investigators to encourage and promote quality research in clinical oncology. The purpose of this award is to fund physician‐scientists during the transition from a fellowship program to a faculty appointment. The Award is open to physicians (M.D., D.O., or international equivalent) or physicians holding a combined M.D./Ph.D. Applicants must be working in an oncology laboratory or clinical research setting in an academic medical institution. Research projects are restricted to translational cancer research. The Award provides a 1‐year grant of $50,000 to support direct research expenses, which may include the salary and benefits of the grant recipient, postdoctoral or clinical research fellows and/or research assistants, research/laboratory supplies, and equipment.
