Description
The UC Cancer Research Coordinating Committee (CRCC) Pre- and Post-Doctoral Fellowships provide funding to support meritorious, mentored research in any aspect of cancer, from basic science to clinical and community-based studies, at any of the ten University of California campuses. This program is designed to foster the next generation of cancer researchers by providing resources and mentorship to predoctoral students nearing graduation and early-stage postdoctoral scholars. Supported research can span the full spectrum of cancer research, including projects addressing cancer origins, prevention, treatment, and cure, with particular interest in public health, cancer disparities, and community-based awareness.
