2015 Dr. Charles A. Coltman, Jr. Fellowship Program
The primary purpose of the Dr. Charles A. Coltman, Jr., Fellowship is to engage outstanding young investigators from SWOG affiliated institutions in learning clinical trial methodology within an academic and cooperative group environment that will lead to independent clinical research, while honoring the legacy of long-time SWOG Chair and leader, Dr. Charles Coltman. Each year, 2-year Fellowships of $50,000/year are provided as salary support for new investigators, ensuring that their time is protected for mentored research in the clinic or laboratory. This program funds investigators from a current SWOG affiliated institution who have accepted a faculty position. Institutions may nominate up to two candidates annually. The applicant must have a mentorship arrangement with a notable Group leader who has proven expertise in clinical trials recruitment and management.
