GOG Foundation New Investigator Award

GOG Foundation New Investigator Award

The GOG Foundation’s Education/Mentoring Committee in collaboration with the NRG Oncology Early Career New Investigators Committee and the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) is seeking applications for a three-year GOG Foundation New Investigator Award. The purpose of this award is to identify New Investigators with an interest in clinical trials in gynecologic cancers who wish to become more engaged with the GOG Foundation and NRG Oncology and to learn more about the gynecologic cancer clinical trial development process. It is anticipated that New Investigators might pursue a GOG-Foundation Scholar Investigator Award at the time of future requests for applications of that award. Details of this award are as follows.

Eligibility Criteria

  1. Physicians or scientists with a terminal degree (MD, DO, PhD) who are in the last two years of fellowship or postdoctoral training or within 10 years following completion of fellowship or postdoctoral training are eligible.
  2. All eligible applicants should have practice and/or research focus in gynecologic cancer.

Obligations and Funding

Selected GOG Foundation New Investigators will be:

  3. Expected to attend NRG Oncology Early Career New Investigators Committee meetings and NRG Oncology sponsored New Investigator Training Forums during required NRG Oncology semiannual meetings. Application for membership to the NRG Oncology Early Career New Investigators Committee is expected. There are no fees other than meeting registration associated with these activities.
  4. Expected to attend clinical trial workshops and postgraduate courses as available during the 2023-2026 SGO Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer.
