Grant in Memory of Peggy A. Yates | PhD Graduate Education at Northeastern University This grant is related to all gynecologic cancers except ovarian cancer. No fetal tissue may be used when conducting this research.

The Foundation gratefully acknowledges the family of Peggy A Yates for support of this grant. The Foundation will accept one (1) application per person per year. Anyone who receives a grant as a resident or fellow is eligible to apply for another one-time grant in the future.

The Foundation will fund the best project applications, with priority given to young investigators. Young investigators are defined as those individuals who have not been previously funded by the Department of Defense, American Cancer Society or the National Cancer Institute in this area. Exceptions to these criteria may be made upon approval of the committee.

SGO members who apply should be junior investigators, generally Assistant Professor and below. Priority will be given to junior investigators. Non-members of the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) may apply with a co-investigator who is an SGO member.

The goal of such collaborative applications is to foster collaboration and mentorship of an investigator new to the field. It is important for the applicant to document this relationship. Significant overlap with existing funding is not permitted.

Applicants should note the existence of pending applications with potential overlap and a plan for how such overlap would be managed if both applications were funded. The grant can be portable provided a similar research environment is secured. Continued funding will be contingent upon ability to complete the proposed work.

At this time research being done outside of the United States will not be considered for funding; however, a non-U.S. resident may apply for a grant for research being done at an American institution. All winners will be asked to present an annual update on their research. Please Note: Up to three grants may be awarded per institution per research cycle.

This number may increase or decrease based on number of research grants being offered during a calendar year and may be modified based on committee discretion.
