This five-year award will fund investigators to develop, execute, and lead gynaecologic oncology clinical trials, participate in GOG Foundation/NRG Oncology and other relevant committee/leadership positions focused on strategic planning of clinical trials in gynaecologic cancer, and support development of at least one clinical trial in gynaecologic cancer where the awardee will serve in a major investigative role (approx $200K USD).

Dr. Danielle Vicus was awarded the GOG Foundation New Investigator Award. This three-year award was granted to individuals that are identified by GOG Partners/ NRG as future clinical trial investigators. It will support their career development in a multi-year program focused on clinical trial development in the realm of gynaecologic oncology.
