<div>The Cancer Research Institute's Fellowship program supports
young immunologists at top universities and research centers
around the world who wish to receive training in cancer
immunology. A panel of scientists drawn from the Institute's
Scientific Advisory Council rigorously evaluates each
candidate, the intended sponsor and training environment, and
the nature and feasibility of the proposed project.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The fellowship program is aligned with the overall mission
of the Cancer Research Institute to support and coordinate
both laboratory and clinical efforts that will lead to
immunological treatment, control, and prevention of cancer.
The Institute is seeking hypothesis driven, mechanistic
studies in both immunology and tumor immunology. The
applicant and sponsor must clearly state the potential of the
proposed studies to directly impact our understanding of the
immune system's role in cancer risk, tumor initiation,
progression, metastasis, host response to tumors, and/or the
treatment of cancer.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><u>Eligibility Guidelines</u></div>
<div>
<ul class="x_x_MailOutline">
<li>Applicants for the Cancer Research Institute's
Fellowship program must be working in areas directly
related to cancer immunology. An eligible project must
fall into the broad field of immunology and must show
relevance to solving the cancer problem. Proposals that
do not encompass both these areas will not be considered.
Applicants must include a summary describing how their
proposal meets these criteria.</li>
<li>Applicants must have a doctoral degree by the date of
award activation and must conduct their proposed research
under a sponsor who holds a formal appointment at the host
institution.</li>
<li>Applicants with 5 or more years of relevant postdoctoral
experience are not eligible, with the exception of M.D.
applicants, who should not include years of residency in
this calculation.</li>
<li>Only in exceptional circumstances will applicants who
have already spent 3 or more years in a sponsor's
laboratory by the start date of fellowship be considered
for a fellowship award.</li>
<li>The fellowship can be performed in the United States or
abroad, but must take place at a non-profit institution.
There are no citizenship restrictions.</li>
<li>Only one fellow per sponsor may apply per application
round, and faculty sponsors may not have more than three
Cancer Research Institute-supported fellows at any time.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The fellowship provides stipends of $50,000 for the first
year, $53,000 for the second, and $57,000 for the third. In
addition, an allowance of $1,500 per year is allotted to the
host institution for use at the sponsor's discretion to help
pay for the fellow's research supplies, travel to scientific
meetings, and/or health insurance. Stipends and institutional
allowances are not permitted to cover administrative expenses.<br>
