Application Period Opens for the 2025 ASCENT Consortium Award Programs
The Advancing the Science of Palliative Care Research Across the Lifespan (ASCENT) Consortium has announced that its application period for its two award programs, the 2025 Pilot and Exploratory Studies Award and 2025 Research Scholar Award, is open. The ASCENT Pilot and Exploratory Studies Award, will offer funding, guidance, and support for innovative research that improves the lives of patients living with serious illness and their caregivers, to help launch pilot and exploratory studies that can lead to larger, externally-funded research. The other award, the ASCENT Research Scholars Award Program, will support early-career investigators who are building a career in palliative care research, to promote the development of a research workforce and build-up the evidence base for palliative care.
Letters of intent are due Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
