Research Grant Opportunity for NEAGO 2026

We are pleased to announce a call for Letters of Interest for our 3rd Annual NEAGO Research Award.   The purpose of this award is to support the academic development of a young investigator who aims to improve the care of women with gynecologic cancers through clinical research and collaboration.  Proposals that involve more than one NEAGO institution are strongly encouraged.  Residents, fellows, or junior faculty (<5 years since graduation) are considered young investigators.  If awarded, a progress report is due at 6 months and 12 months and awardees will be expected to provide updates at semi-annual NEAGO board meetings via video conference. Finally, results of the project should culminate in presentation at the annual NEAGO meeting.
