Summary: AIRC supports young scientists through predoctoral and postdoctoral research training fellowships in Italy.
The Foundation for Cancer Research in Italy (AIRC) dedicates resources each year to research training fellowships in Italy, helping young scientists learn the foundations of research and develop into experienced researchers. Fellowships support training periods of one, two, or three years. Three-year awards receive the largest share of the resources devoted to training because they give researchers adequate time to build a solid scientific foundation.
The program supports both predoctoral and postdoctoral researchers. Active fellows train at universities, research institutes, hospitals, and foundations across Italy, including National Research Council institutes, oncology institutes, and biomedical research foundations. Since the 2022 calls, fellowships have been differentiated by both duration and award amount according to whether the researcher has already earned a doctorate.
