        <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. &nbsp;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.
          &nbsp;The Institute is seeking hypothesis driven, mechanistic
          studies in both immunology and tumor immunology. &nbsp;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>
          <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. &nbsp;An eligible project must
              fall into the broad field of immunology and must show
              relevance to solving the cancer problem. &nbsp;Proposals that
              do not encompass both these areas will not be considered.
              &nbsp;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 &nbsp;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.
              &nbsp;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. &nbsp;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. &nbsp;Stipends and institutional
