AWARDS INFORMATION & CRITERIA FOR ELIGIBILITY
INCTR Awards
INCTR gives two awards at the time of its biennial meeting to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to cancer treatment or research in one or more developing countries. The purpose of these awards is not simply to recognize and honor the recipients, but also to show, by their example, that much can be achieved even when resources are limited. It is hoped that their work and philosophy brought to a broader audience than would otherwise be the case, will inspire others to greater efforts. Each of the awards is named after a distinguished oncologist.
The Nazli Gad-el-Mawla Award
The Nazli Gad-el-Mawla Award is given for outstanding contributions to cancer control by an individual from a country with limited resources.
The Paul P. Carbone Award in International Oncology
The Paul P. Carbone Award in International Oncology is given for outstanding contributions to oncology or cancer research in one or more developing countries by an individual from a resource-rich country.
