Description
The Stanford Cancer Institute (SCI) Fellowship Awards support cancer research fellows at Stanford University as they transition from training to academic careers. SCI, an NCI Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, runs the program as part of its mission to translate Stanford discoveries into individualized cancer care and prevention and to educate the next generation of cancer researchers.
The awards support clinical, laboratory, and population-based research directly relevant to cancer biology, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, or cancer patients’ quality of life. Salary and fringe benefits funding helps trainees pursue faculty positions and obtain career development awards. The program prioritizes applicants with clear evidence of intent to pursue an academic career and a commitment to seek peer-reviewed research funding.
