Solid Tumor Research Scholars Post Award (ACE)

First Step

If you are chosen for an award, Gilead will contact you as we will need to set up a contract with your institution. You will also receive an invitation to present your research to the Scientific Review Committee, Gilead Medical Affairs colleagues, RSP Alumni, and your mentor.

One Year

One year after the contract starts, you'll be required to submit a progress report (a template will be provided) and a financial update for the chair's review. Upon project completion, you'll need to submit a final report (template provided) along with final financial documents. Any unused funds must be refunded to Gilead Sciences.

Ongoing

As an alumnus of the program, you'll be invited to all future RSP events, which will help you build your networking skills and collaborate with your peers. You'll also be invited to join Gilead's Alumni community, a closed LinkedIn group. After the research is complete, Gilead may contact you each year to answer a few basic questions about its impact on your career and the scientific community which is important to demonstrate the value of the program.

Is the Institutional Review Board approval (or other approvals relevant to my country) required prior to application?

Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval is only required at the time of award disbursement. However a copy of the submission to the IRB must be submitted prior to the award.

What is the start date of the award?

The official start date is the date that the contract is signed by both your institution and Gilead Sciences. Award deference may be subject to country specific compliance regulations. If in doubt, please check with your institution.

Can I defer the start date of the award?

In some cases, we can defer the start date of the award up to 4 months.
