Dr. Charles A Coltman, Jr. Fellowship Program

Initiated in 2008, the primary purpose of the Dr. Charles A. Coltman, Jr. Fellowship is to engage outstanding young investigators from SWOG member institutions in independent research, while honoring the retirement of long time SWOG chair and leader, Dr. Charles Coltman. Each year a $100,000 fellowship, intended primarily for salary support over two years, will be presented to the successful candidate.

This program funds investigators from a current SWOG member 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.

An independent panel of SWOG leaders reviews the applications and selects the successful fellow. The fellowship requires detailed annual progress reports on how the Fellow has utilized the funding to further his or her cancer clinical research.
