BRIAN VAN TYNE EARLY CAREER AWARD
SARC is pleased to announce the Brian Van Tine Early Career Travel Award, established in honor of Dr. Brian Van Tine’s exceptional dedication to mentorship, collaboration, and the advancement of sarcoma research.
Made possible through start-up funding from an anonymous donor, this award supports trainees and early-career investigators by offsetting travel and lodging costs to attend major sarcoma meetings, including SASS-y, SASS, Sarcoma P31, the SARC Semiannual Meetings before ASCO, and at CTOS.
The initiative aims to empower the next generation of sarcoma researchers and clinicians by enabling them to present their work, participate in leading scientific meetings, and connect with the broader research community.
We encourage eligible trainees and early-career investigators to apply.
For eligibility and application details, please visit the Brian Van Tine Early Career Travel Award page on the SARC website.
