Graft versus Host Disease National Symposium
Oct 13 | Grand Event Center - Columbus
 The GvHD National Conference focuses on cutting edge research and new treatments, consists of two tracks: one for physicians and other health care professionals, and one for BMT survivors, their families and their caregivers. The Meredith A. Cowden Foundation in collaboration with the Case CCC, UH Seidman Cancer Center, and Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Institute, created the National GvHD Health Symposium in 2010 to raise awareness about Graft vs. Host Disease (GvHD), to promote research to further our understanding of its cause, and to review cutting edge approaches to prevention and treatment. Over 1,200 people have attended this event, which provides an opportunity for attendees to interact with some of the world's leading authorities on GvHD, a complication that affects over 60% of bone marrow transplant patients. This year we are excited to team up with the The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute as hosts of the 2017 symposium! CME credits will be offered.

LOI Deadline: Jul 7
The St. Baldrick's Foundation announces 2018 Fellowships and the opening of the Fall 2017 infrastructure grant cycle.

They support institutions with the potential for more participation in childhood cancer clinical trials, but which currently lack the necessary resources (primarily support for Clinical Research Associates).
Fellowship Awards:
St. Baldrick's Fellowships are granted for 3rd and 4th, or 4th and 5th years of pediatric oncology research, with an opportunity for one additional year of funding based upon need, significant accomplishment and approved application.
