Scholar-in-Training Awards: Annual Meeting
Scholar-in-training awards: Annual Meeting
Since its inception in 1986, the AACR Annual Meeting Scholar-in-Training Award program has provided over 5,000 grants to young investigators and has received support from over 70 cancer research foundations, corporations, individuals, and other organizations dedicated to the fight against cancer.
Scholar-in-Training Awards are highly competitive and recognize outstanding young investigators presenting meritorious proffered papers at the AACR Annual Meeting. While awards are based on meritorious applications across scientific disciplines, some funding has been designated to support awards for applicants meeting specific scientific or geographic criteria. Scholar-in-Training Award funds are to support attendance at the Annual Meeting.
