The PARC Early Career Award provides funding to clinical investigators associated with and working with childhood cancer research cooperative groups that operate in low- and middle-income countries (LICs & MICs). These clinical investigators should be participating or should plan to participate in clinical research in a cooperative group in their country or region. Research conducted in HIC is out of scope for this award.
This Award aims to support the career development of young future leaders in paediatric oncology in LICs and MICs helping to open up their horizon in their career as researchers affiliated with an existing cooperative group.
The 2026 PARC Early Career Awards are made possible with the generous support from the NaiKong and Irene Cheung Family and the Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research.
