Description
The AACR Cancer Disparities Research Fellowship supports postdoctoral and clinical research fellows pursuing mentored research with direct applicability and relevance to cancer disparities. Administered by the American Association for Cancer Research, the program accepts projects in basic, translational, clinical, or population sciences. Its goal is to help fellows establish successful career paths in cancer disparities research.
The fellowship combines support for the fellow’s salary and benefits with funding for selected direct research expenses. Mentorship is central to the program: applications are evaluated on the applicant’s preparation and potential, the scientific quality of the project, the mentor’s qualifications, and the training environment. The mentor’s reference letter receives significant weight in review.
