2023 Young Investigator Award
CLL Society’s second annual Young Investigator Award which will fund the research efforts of an investigator who is focused solely on topics specific to CLL/SLL.
Goal: To foster the academic career development of scientists who are young in their careers, and to encourage the next generation of scientific leaders to perform research that is specific to CLL/SLL. This award also encourages research institutions to promote a collaborative approach to research.
Proposals will be prioritized that include research focused on the following four identified critical areas of unmet needs as designated by CLL Society:
- Disease progression after receiving BTK inhibitors and BCL-2 inhibitors (double refractory disease)
- Richter’s transformation
- The need to strengthen or reconstitute the impaired immune system
- Curative therapies for CLL/SLL
Proposals should also take into consideration the following CLL Society Research Program Objectives:
- Develop a better understanding of CLL/SLL genesis, progression, and transformation.
- Identify new or improve existing treatment options.
- Elucidate the nature of and determine methods for reducing associated morbidity and mortality arising from immune dysfunction and other complications in CLL/SLL.
- Minimize inequities in overall survivorship, treatment options, and access to care for all patients through promoting greater diversity in research and forming a greater understanding of the presentation of CLL/SLL in various demographic groups.
- Realize an overall improvement in outcomes for all CLL/SLL patients.
