The National Foundation for Cancer Research (NFCR) Graduate Fellowship supports doctoral training in biomedical research, data science, and closely related quantitative fields. It provides multi-year support so fellows can concentrate on rigorous study and high-impact, data-driven cancer research.
NFCR aims to develop researchers who can turn complex biomedical and clinical data into reliable knowledge and meaningful patient benefit. The program responds to opportunities and analytic challenges arising from genomic profiling, digital pathology, medical imaging, electronic health records, cancer registries, and real-world clinical data. Its goals include advancing cancer discovery, early detection, prevention, intervention, and personalized treatment.
