Description
This fellowship is a collaborative initiative between the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) and EMD Serono, designed to support postdoctoral or clinical research fellows engaged in mentored research projects addressing disparities in bladder cancer care. The fellowship aims to foster innovative research that identifies and addresses barriers leading to inequalities in oncology care, such as differences in awareness, access, and outcomes among racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. In addition to funding, recipients will have opportunities to amplify their research through conference presentations, press releases, and speaking engagements.
