> 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.
>
> 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.
>
> 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.
>
> ELIGIBILITY
>
>   * 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.
>   * 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.
>   * 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.
>   * 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.
>   * 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.
>   * 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.
