The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Grants Program began in 1984 with a single $16,000 grant to a young investigator for start-up research funding. In 2009, the Grants Program, now administered by The ASCO Cancer Foundation, awarded more than $6.5 million to 70 different investigators. This article, celebrating the 25th anniversary of this initiative, describes the history and evolution of the Grants Program, attempts to measure the impact of the program on clinical cancer research through an analysis of the career paths of past recipients, and addresses challenges that the program will face as it enters its second 25 years.
美国临床肿瘤学会（ASCO）资助计划始于 1984 年，当时向一位年轻研究员提供了一笔 16000 美元的启动研究资金。2009 年，该资助计划由 ASCO 癌症基金会管理，向 70 位不同的研究员授予了超过 650 万美元的资金。本文庆祝这一倡议的 25 周年，介绍了该资助计划的历史和发展，通过分析过去受助者的职业轨迹，试图衡量该计划对临床癌症研究的影响，并讨论了该计划在进入第二个 25 年之际将面临的挑战。
