St. Baldrick’s Fellowship awards begin after a new doctor has had at least one year of clinical training to become a pediatric oncology researcher. These grants fund two years of research under the guidance of an expert mentor, after which Fellows demonstrating a high degree of success and commitment may apply for one additional year of research funding. This year 20 new St. Baldrick’s Fellow awards were granted, and one was granted an additional year of funding, totaling more than $3.4 million.
