Since 2003, the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation has offered Young Investigator Travel Awards to new physicians and scientists in the field of cutaneous lymphoma research to attend annual medical meetings. Eligibility for an award includes having submitted an abstract and presenting research related to cutaneous lymphoma at the meeting.
The award was first given to support travel to the Society for Investigative Dermatology (SID) Annual Meeting and participation in the concurrent CTCL Symposium. Due to the positive response of the initial award in 2011, a second award was offered to an investigator presenting at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. In 2019 additional travel awards were offered to the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) and World Congress of Cutaneous Lymphomas (WCCL) meetings.
