The Study Coordinator Prize

Breast Cancer Trials (BCT) established the Study Coordinator Prize in 2008 in acknowledgment of the special and dedicated work Study Coordinators and Research Nurses do and the important role they play in the conduct of clinical trials research. 

The intention of this award is to recognise one worthy Study Coordinator or Research Nurse for the special contribution they have made to BCT’s own clinical trials and to provide the recipient with the opportunity to cover the cost of attending the 2026 Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM), including return economy class airfares, accommodation for the duration of the ASM, and full registration, and receive $500 towards a clinical trials professional development opportunity.

Nominations for the Study Coordinator Prize will open in October.

This award is open to Australian and New Zealand Study Coordinators and Research Nurses with an active role in contributing to one or more of BCT’s clinical trials, and who have made a significant contribution to BCT’s clinical trials research program. 

Ms Cherry Singh was the 2026 Recipient of the Study Coordinator Prize.
