AACR IMMUNO-ONCOLOGY RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS

Purpose: The AACR Immuno-oncology Research Fellowships represent a joint effort to encourage and support postdoctoral or clinical research fellows to conduct immuno-oncology research and to establish a successful career path in this field. The research proposed for funding may be basic, translational, clinical, or epidemiological in nature and must have direct applicability and relevance to immuno-oncology.

These fellowships provide two-year grants of $120,000 to support the salary and benefits of the fellow while working on mentored immuno-oncology research. A partial amount of funds may be designated for non-personnel expenses, such as research/laboratory supplies, equipment, publication charges for manuscripts that pertain directly to the funded project, and other research expenses.

Eligibility: 

At the start of the grant term on July 1, 2022, applicants must:

• Hold a mentored research position with the title of postdoctoral fellow, clinical research fellow, or the equivalent.
• Have completed their most recent doctoral degree within the past five years (i.e., degree cannot have been conferred before July 1, 2017). Applicants with a medical degree must have completed their most recent doctoral degree or medical residency - whichever date is later - within the past five years.
• Work under the auspices of a mentor at an academic, medical, or research institution anywhere in the world.
