Description
This award, presented by the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), is designed to advance the field of regenerative cancer medicine by supporting postdoctoral or clinical research fellows. The grant targets projects that apply regenerative medicine strategies to enhance the physiological health of cancer survivors or mitigate the adverse effects of cancer treatments. Research may be translational, clinical, or population science in nature, but must directly address challenges faced by cancer survivors through regenerative approaches. The fellowship funds both salary and research expenses, enabling fellows to pursue mentored research and establish a career in this emerging field.
