The program provides financial support to 3 junior faculty researchers for a 2-year period. Each award is funded up to  $130,000 USD (inclusive of any indirect costs), to be paid in annual installments of up to $65,000 USD per year for 2 years payment to be made to researcher’s institution. Funding for the second year is contingent upon submission of a progress report by each junior faculty researcher and approval by the Chair of the Scientific Review Committee which oversees the program. 

Recipients of these competitive awards under the program will be selected by a Committee, comprised of leaders in the field of hematology/oncology (the "Scientific Review Committee" or the "Committee").

Announcement of Award Recipients will be made at an awardee acknowledgement session hosted by the Committee and senior representatives from Gilead Sciences.
