SSO supports cancer research by providing research funding through its competitive Clinical Investigator and Young Investigator Awards programs. The SSO Clinical Investigator Award supports patient-focused research conducted by surgical oncologists in clinical and translational science. The SSO Young Investigator Award promotes and recognizes translational or clinical research that advances innovative ideas and concepts designed to improve health outcomes through advances in the delivery of cancer-related care. Funding for these awards is made possible by the SSO Research and Education Fund.
This year two Clinical Investigator and two Young Investigator Awards are available: one traditional award in each category supported by SSO and one dedicated to a specific topic in each category. See the call for proposals for instructions and links on how to apply.
