Applications will be due no later than September 01, 2013. Selected individual(s) will be notified by October 30, 2013 and will be asked to attend the 2014 Winter Semi Annual Meeting for award acknowledgement.
The program recipient will be expected to design a clinical project utilizing ancillary data that has already been collected from prior GOG studies in which the primary objectives have been achieved and reported. Ancillary Data information and application format is available through the GOG website. Program recipient will be expected to work closely with the GOG Statistical and Data Center office in Buffalo, New York. The program recipient will be expected to spend time in Buffalo collecting and analyzing the data. This will enable the program recipient to acquaint himself/herself with the group studies and how appreciable contributions can be made from previously reported studies. This project will lead to an oral presentation at the GOG Semi Annual Scientific Session/ Symposium with subsequent publication. There will also be the possibility of presentation at other regional or national meetings with notification of the GOG. The term of the program will be 24 months beginning at the award presentation during the Semi Annual Meeting.
