CLL Society will be awarding one new “Young Investigator Award” each year in the amount of $150,000, which will be dispersed in annual payments of $50,000 over three years. Our Research Review Committee will continue to select and fund at least one new researcher each year, with hopes of eventually increasing both the number and size of our annual award(s) in the future as financial resources allow.

A Young Investigator is defined as a junior faculty member (instructor or assistant professor) and/or postdoctoral fellow who focuses on pre-clinical research. Their program must have a teaching curriculum and mentoring element, with well-established investigators who have excellent track records in CLL/SLL. The Young Investigator Award is intended to develop medical knowledge, thereby stimulating future research that is applicable to the development of medical innovations, which will save and sustain the lives of those with CLL/SLL. The types of research considered for funding will generally be bench science or translational research. (See the eligibility section for further details).
