The Paul Carbone, MD Fellowship Award is a research grant that aims to develop and promote excellence in clinical trials leading to improvements in cancer care. Each year, the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group names one outstanding senior oncology or hematology research fellow at a member institution to receive this award and associated professional recognition.
Since the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) established the award in 2004, the Group has provided this one-time, one-year research grant, which may be applied to salary support for the investigator and research supplies needed to support their proposed research study. The amount of the award is currently $25,000.
Funding for the Paul Carbone, MD Fellowship is provided by the ECOG Research and Education Foundation.
Funding is granted directly to the institution on the effective date of the award, which is July 1 of the year in which the recipient is named. The member institution must be in good standing with ECOG-ACRIN, having passed the annual institutional review (formal audit and quality control process) conducted by the Principal Investigator Committee. Within 90 days of completing the clinical research project, the recipient is required to submit a final report.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for consideration, a physician must meet all of the following criteria:
- Completed two years of a fellowship in oncology or hematology at an ECOG-ACRIN member institution before the award’s effective date of July 1
