Sarcoma Interest Group

The Sarcoma Interest Group (SAIG) fosters collaboration among NIH and extramural researchers to advance sarcoma research. To facilitate knowledge exchange, SAIG will host monthly online seminars and workshops, providing a dedicated platform for discussion and innovation. Given that sarcomas are systemic diseases arising from various tissue and organ types, SAIG will engage researchers across multiple NIH institutes. Initially, all meetings will be virtual. Through its seminar series, SAIG aims to:

  • Keep NIH researchers informed about the latest sarcoma research
  • Strengthen intramural-extramural collaborations
  • Support the development of novel therapeutic strategies
  • Attract highly qualified trainees to NIH laboratories

Annually, SAIG will feature a presentation from the Fellows Award for Research Excellence (FARE) recipient, showcasing their research contributions. Looking ahead, SAIG envisions hosting a biannual in-person workshop at NIH, featuring keynote speakers from outside institutions. These initiatives will enhance mentorship, foster career development, further strengthen the sarcoma research community, and contribute to NIH’s mission of advancing human health.
