Career Development Award

The SARC Career Development Program supports early-stage physicians or scientists conducting sarcoma research in the United States or Canada. Applicants from other countries are also welcome, but the proposed research must be performed in an institution in the United States or Canada.

The program is supported by philanthropic donations to SARC. Career Development Awards are awarded in the amount of $100,000. A second year of funding is contingent on satisfactory progress and availability of funds.

Application information available Fall 2023.

  • MD / DO, PhD, or equivalent

  • Ability to devote at least 50% effort to research
