ASGCT will award $50,000 to a scientist at any career level to support research focused on gene or cell therapy for conditions that disproportionately affect minority populations.
Some conditions that disproportionately affect minorities have received lower research funding levels than other diseases relative to their prevalence in the population.
ASGCT is committed to addressing these research and health care disparities by supporting gene and cell therapy research for these conditions. Therefore, the Society is initiating this $50,000 award for one ASGCT member in gene or cell therapy-related research on conditions disproportionately affecting minorities for one year, from November 2022 to October 2023.
