Neeraj Agarwal

Neeraj Agarwal, MD, a Huntsman Cancer Institute investigator and associate professor of medicine at the University of Utah, received the 2014 Cancer Clinical Investigator Team Leadership Award from the NCI.

The $100,000 award, intended to support clinical research over a 2-year period, recognizes cancer investigators for contributions that advanced clinical research through collaborative team science.

Agarwal is associate director of Huntsman Cancer Institute’s Clinical Trials Office. In that role, he facilitates development of innovative clinical trial protocols. The award will allow him to dedicate more time to mentoring junior faculty, fellows and residents in both research and career development, as well as providing clinical trial education for faculty and community clinicians.

Agarwal’s research focuses on clinical trials in advanced prostate cancer and other urologic cancers.
