Charles A. Coltman, Jr., MD Fellowship in Translational Medicine

An extension of the clinical Coltman Fellowship program, the Fellowship Program in Translational Medicine is built upon Dr. Coltman’s longstanding commitment to promoting the impact of research from bench to bedside, directly applying important research findings to improve patient care.

This program similarly supports investigators from a current SWOG member institution who have accepted a faculty position, with institutions able to nominate up to two candidates annually. The applicant must have a mentorship arrangement with a notable Group leader who has proven expertise in translational medicine research, clinical trials recruitment and management.

The successful fellow is then selected by an independent panel of SWOG leadership.

The fellowship provides $100,000 over two years and requires annual detailed progress reports setting forth how the funding has enabled the fellow’s translational medicine knowledge and initiatives.
