Activity Information

Course Description

The Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Young Investigators’ Forum (ALL-YIF) is a unique educational opportunity designed specifically for U.S.-based young investigators (YIs) (MD, DO, and/or PhD) who are pursuing a career in academic research focused on ALL across basic, translational, and clinical research settings. The ALL-YIF is a competitive academic research program where hematology/oncology junior faculty and fellows from across the country are invited to submit an abstract of their unpublished, original research to a panel of expert faculty for assessment.

 
Young Investigators who are accepted to present their research at the Forum will receive a modest travel scholarship from CEC Oncology. Research Awards ranging from $1,000 - $4,000 will also be given out to the top Young Investigators in each category.
Target Audience

North-American based clinicians and scientists (including, MDs, PhDs, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Pharmacists, PhD/MD Students) who are actively involved in academic research in ALL across basic, translational, study design, and clinical research settings. We encourage adult and pediatric hematologists/oncologists and related lab-based and translational researchers to submit.

Educational Objectives
  1. Identify high-quality ALL research study designs and methods, with an emphasis on the role of intensive chemotherapies.
  2. Evaluate the current treatment landscape in ALL, including efficacy, safety, drug delivery, and quality of life (QoL) considerations of current and emerging agents.
  3. Identify the impact of scholarly activity and clinical research on continuing professional development.
  4. Evaluate strengths and weaknesses of ALL research presented by YI peers.
  5. Improve public speaking and presentation skills to effectively communicate research findings to the larger scientific community.
  6. Assess the crucial need for community-building, including networking and collegiality, among YIs, especially in oncology research to enhance productivity and career advancement in ALL.
  7. Coordinate with leading expert investigators and peers on approaches to key career challenges, such as grant writing, research funding, networking, and academic appointments, among others, with leading KOLs and peers.
