Global Oncology Young Investigator Award Grant

The Global Oncology Young Investigator Award (YIA) supports early-career researchers aiming to enhance global oncology knowledge. It encourages innovative research in both low and high resource settings, addressing unique cancer challenges. With a funding amount of $50,000 for one year, the award promotes collaborative efforts to generate insights that could benefit diverse healthcare practices worldwide. This initiative aims to nurture the next generation of oncology researchers, responding to critical global health needs.

The Global Oncology Young Investigator Award (YIA) provides research funding to early-career investigators to encourage and promote quality research in global oncology and to develop the next generation researchers to address global health needs. Global oncology refers to the application of the concepts of global health to cancer, and implies an approach to the practice of oncology that acknowledges the reality of limited resources in most parts of the world.
The Global Oncology Young Investigator Award is intended to support:
Research by investigators in low resource settings on scientific questions specific to those settings. This research has potential to offer “reverse innovation” insights that could influence practice in a wide range of practice settings.
Research by investigators in high resource settings on issues in resource-limited settings.
Collaborative research (high and low resource investigators) on questions of shared concern, such as studying a cancer type that affects a small population in the U.S. but is common in another country.
Applicants are encouraged to be innovative in their research proposal. Proposed research projects could include, but are not limited to:

• Clinical and translational research Innovative care delivery
• Prevention and palliative care
• Implementation research
• Health Systems, Outcomes and Economics research related to cancer control and care

The GO YIA is a one-year grant for $50,000. The number of GO YIAs in each funding cycle is not predetermined by Conquer Cancer. Awards are given based on individual merit and availability of funds.
