Chien-Tien Hsu was Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Biochemistry at the Taipei Medical College and, subsequently, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the National Yang-Ming Medical College, both in Taipei, Taiwan. Professor Hsu became internationally renowned for his work in radical surgery for cervical cancer. He served on many FIGO committees but most notably on its Oncology Committee. Following his death in 1992, the FIGO/Chien-Tien Hsu Fellowship for young physicians beginning a career in gynaecologic oncology was established in his honour and memory.
The Chien-Tien Hsu Research Foundation and FIGO have established a fellowship to enable young obstetricians and gynaecologists who are beginning a career in gynaecologic oncology to attend the FIGO World Congress and to visit a gynaecologic oncology centre in the country where a FIGO Congress is being held.
A grant of USD $5,000 will be awarded to each successful applicant to defray the expenses incurred in attending the FIGO World Congress of Gynecology and Obstetrics. Please also note that should COVID-19 related travel restrictions impact on the attendance of the successful applicants, the award would then take the form of a scholarship. The scholarship funds would be allocated towards the cost of virtual registrations and other associated costs (e.g. special electronic equipment to support virtual links) incurred by both the successful applicants and the host institution.
Applicants must:
A report will need to be submitted to FIGO by the end of December 2021. This report will be considered for publication in the Federation’s Newsletter.
FIGO and the Chien-Tien Hsu Foundation will appoint a Selection Committee to review the applications. Successful candidates will be notified by the end of March 2021. Please note that no correspondence can be entered into regarding the Selection Committee’s decision.
The deadline for submission of applications is 31 January 2021.
Submissions are now closed.
