<div><b>Deadline: April 1, 2014</b></div>

</div>
<div>The CRI Irvington Postdoctoral Fellowship
Program supports qualified young scientists at
leading universities and research centers around
the world who wish to receive training in cancer
immunology.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
The Institute seeks 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.<br>
<br>
ELIGIBILITY<br>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Applicants for the CRI Irvington
Postdoctoral 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.</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
CRI-supported fellows at any time.</li>
</ul>
</div>
FINANCIAL INFORMATION<br>
<br>
The fellowship provides a stipend of $50,000 for
the first year, $53,000 for the second year, and
$57,000 for the third year. 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.<br>
<br>
Deductions for administrative overhead are not
allowed from either the stipend or the
institutional allowance. Payments are made
monthly in U.S. currency to the host
institution.<br>
<br>
APPLICATION DEADLINE<br>
<br>
The application deadlines are April 1 and
October 1; when those dates fall on the weekend,
applications are due the following Monday.
Applications are due by 5 p.m. EST on these
dates. Applicants are notified of fellowship
committee decisions within approximately 10-12
weeks of the application deadline.<br>
<br>
Fellowships can be activated three months after
the application deadline but no later than one
year following the deadline. Awards activate on
the first of the month.<br>
