Through the program, a single grant of $50,000 a year for two years will be awarded to an established investigator in the field of gastric cancer research working to enhance the fundamental understanding of gastric cancer pathobiology or approaches to the prevention, treatment, or a cure for gastric cancer.

To be eligible, applicants must be established as an independent investigator in the field of gastric biology.

PhD applicants are considered “established” if seven or more years have elapsed following the awarding of the PhD degree and the start date of the award (i.e., January 2021).
