Description
The Mark Foundation for Cancer Research offers two flagship fellowship programs designed to empower the next generation of cancer research leaders:
- Momentum Fellowships: Awarded to promising researchers to accelerate innovative cancer research. Candidates for this fellowship are nominated exclusively by members of the Scientific Advisory Committee. Direct applications are not accepted for this award.
- Postdoctoral Fellowships: Offered annually in partnership with select organizations, these fellowships support early-career scientists working on transformative ideas in cancer biology and patient care. Applications for these fellowships must be submitted through the partner organizations’ standard processes, not directly to The Mark Foundation.
Both programs aim to nurture early-career talent and advance high-impact, cutting-edge research that addresses critical challenges in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
