ASNO Workshop
2024 ASNO-SNO Clinical Trials Scholars Course for Neuro Oncology
Concept Development Workshop (CDW)
15th August, 2024, ASNO Annual Congress, Singapore
Dear ASNO members, friends,
Thank you for your enthusiastic participation in the ASNO-SNO Clinical Trials Scholars Course 2023. We are now inviting applications for 2024 ASNO-SNO Clinical Trials Scholars Course for Neuro Oncology Concept Development Workshop (CDW). This interactive, protocol development workshop will mentor early/mid-level career clinical faculty/researchers and Fellows (from Neurosurgery, Neurology/Neuro Oncology and Medical and Radiation Oncology streams) from ASNO region to develop effective clinical trial designs for their research concepts pertaining to neuro-oncology. The workshop is based on educational principles of collaborative and networked learning whereby participants will be mentored to develop their neuro-oncology study ideas into well-structured pragmatic concepts ready to be developed into full study protocols.
Applicants are encouraged to submit a research concept sheet as per the prescribed format outlining their research proposal/idea. Proposals can focus on any subject of neuro oncology (demographics/epidemiology, neurosurgery, radiation therapy, systemic therapy, quality of life, clinical neuro oncology, pathology etc) and can range from a relatively simple design of prospective data collection of a particular intervention to phase 2 or even more complex phase 3/multicentre studies. The proposals can be tailored to meet with unmet needs or gaps in delivering neuro oncology care in their respective regions.
All applications will undergo a peer review process by ASNO & SNO faculty/team of judges and will be assessed based on:
- Strength of application
- Quality of proposed study (relevance to the participant’s region and neuro-onc community as a whole)
- Statement of interest, statement of support from supervisors/mentors
All Applicants would be given access to the course lectures which will be available on ASNO website.
Top Eight (8) Applicants among the applications received will be selected unanimously by the judges and invited to present their ideas followed by discussion in a dedicated session at the ASNO 2024 Annual Meeting in Singapore. The top 4 out of the top 8 applicants will receive an Educational Grant of 500 USD each to facilitate their travel/accommodation to attend in person the ASNO 2024 Congress in Singapore in August 2024.
