Description
The Translational Bridge Program Awards at Northwestern University's Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center are designed to accelerate the translation of basic scientific discoveries into clinical interventions for cancer. The program funds one-year postdoctoral fellowships for research teams composed of both basic scientists and clinical investigators, focusing on projects with a clear path toward clinical application and potential impact on cancers prevalent in the Center’s catchment area. Requests for Applications (RFAs) are posted throughout the year, each targeting different translational research themes or priorities. The program emphasizes durable, collaborative relationships between basic and clinical researchers to drive advances in cancer care.
