The North American Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (NANETS) will present the NANETS Clinical Investigator Scholarship at the organization’s 10th annual symposium, to be held October 19-21 in Philadelphia, PA.
The NCI Scholarship supports clinical projects as well as the investigator's potential to make future clinical contributions to the neuroendocrine tumor field and is intended to encourage clinicians’ career development in this area of medicine. The scholarship is supported by IPSEN Biopharmaceuticals in memory of Dr Edda Gomez-Panzani, a NET researcher and advocate who dedicated her life to working with those in need. The two-year award provides $50,000 in funding each year, which is directed to the investigator’s sponsoring institution.
“Ipsen is proud to sponsor the continuation of Edda’s work on behalf of patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) through this Clinical Investigator Scholarship,” said David Cox, PhD, Vice President of Medical and Regulatory Affairs.
“NANETS appreciates the support of Ipsen in providing this important scholarship to promote career development in the neuroendocrine tumor field,” said David Metz, MD, chair of the NANETS Board of Directors. NANETS administers the grant, establishing the criteria and the review process and selecting the recipient.
