Focus on Research Scholar Program 2012
Mar.30.2012
Research Advocacy Network’s Advocate Institute is excited to announce the opening of the Focus on Research Scholar Program for 2012. We are looking for cancer advocates who want to make difference to their patient community by creating an awareness of the research that is impacting clinical care. The Focus on Research Scholar program is designed to prepare advocates to better understand the research process and have a greater understanding of common concepts in oncology (cancer pathways, genomics, biomarkers, statistics, patient protections). Scholars will develop and implement an action plan to disseminate research results and knowledge gained in the class to a patient community. Through a system of preparatory conference calls, virtual classroom (webinars), and learning materials the Scholars will gain critical appraisal skills to better understand research presentations and publications. The Scholars will attend the ASCO Annual Meeting in Chicago, June 1-5, 2012 to gather knowledge about biomedical advances. There are a limited number of scholarships available to support travel costs to the ASCO meeting. After attending ASCO the Scholars report and implement their action plans to share this information with the advocate’s organization and constituencies.
