The ASCO Cancer Foundation Grants 25th Anniversary

“The CDA and YIA grants set the stage for young investigators to receive other peer-reviewed funding by allowing protected time for mentoring and research. These grants allow young investigators to collect preliminary data that makes them competitive for K Grants, NIH funding, and other peer-reviewed funding.” Arti Hurria, MD, 2002 YIA and 2005 CDA Winner

“The ASCO Cancer Foundation YIA grant is a key funding mechanism that has had a major indelible impact on my career!”  Johann de Bono, MD, FRCP, MSc, PhD, 2001 YIA Winner
