This $100,000 award will support one ASGCT member from an underrepresented minority population in a postdoctoral or early-stage investigator fellowship in gene or cell therapy-related research for an oncology indication for one year.
This $100,000 award will support one ASGCT member from an underrepresented group in the scientific workforce through a postdoctoral or early-stage investigator fellowship in any gene or cell therapy-related research for one year.
