ASNO Workshop
ASNO-SNO Clinical Trials Scholars Course for Neuro Oncology 2023
PART 2- Protocol Development Workshop (PDW)
Dear ASNO members, friends,
Thank you for your enthusiastic participation in Part-1 of the ASNO-SNO Clinical Trials Scholars Course 2023. We are now inviting applications for course’s Part-2 Protocol Development Workshop (PDW).
The 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 neuro-oncology study concepts into full study protocols ready to be submitted to their respective ethics committees.
Applicants are encouraged to submit a research concept sheet as per prescribed format outlining their research proposal. 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 relatively simple design of prospective data collection of a particular clinical sub-sites/intervention to phase 2 or even more complex phase 3/multicentric studies. The proposals can be tailored to meet with unmet needs or gaps in delivering neuro oncology care in their respective regions. Applications for Part 2 does not mandate participation in Part 1 of the course, although applicants are encouraged to learn from the video recordings of Part 1 presently available on the ASNO website.
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
Top Four Applicants among the applications received will be selected unanimously by the judges and assigned mentors to help develop their proposals via email and online meetings. Each of these four selected scholars will also be invited to present their study followed by discussion in a dedicated session at the ASNO Congress. They will receive an Educational Grant of 500 USD each to facilitate their travel/accommodation to attend in person the ASNO 2023 Congress in Bali in October 2023.
