The ASCENT Consortium is excited to announce the ten recipients of the 2026 Investigator in Residence Program.

This year-long program provides early-stage investigators focused on serious illness care across any phase of the lifespan with career development and networking opportunities to advance their career.

Our first publication, “The ASCENT Consortium: A New Resource to Support Palliative Care Science Across the Lifespan,” is now available online in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management!

Dr. Jean Kutner sat down with TCNtalks/Anatomy of Leadership host Chris Comeaux to share insights about how the $64 million investment in the ASCENT Consortium is reshaping the future of serious illness care.

ASCENT is launching a new consortium-wide initiative, the ASCENT Biostatistics Learning Network (ABLN), which is designed to advance statistical innovation in serious illness research.
