Richard L. Schilsky Cancer and Leukemia Group B
Achievement Award

The Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology Foundation invites nominations for the Richard L. Schilsky Cancer and Leukemia Group B Achievement Award each year.

The RLS CALGB Achievement Award was established in 2010 to recognize the 15-year tenure of Dr. Schilsky as Group Chair of Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB). The award acknowledges the significant contributions of an individual to cooperative group research. As an organization, it is vital for the Alliance to identify and honor the talented people responsible for its success. The award was made possible through generous donations from our members and industry supporters.
