Post-Doctoral Research Fellowships
The International Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship Program provides financial support for the post-doctoral research of promising young scientists who pursue research and advanced training in collaboration with mentors at major cancer centers in the United States and Italy. Support for fellows during their first post-doctoral year of research and advanced training is emphasized. Up to ten fellowships are renewable for a second year, pending review by AICF’s Scientific Advisory Board Executive Committee of work completed during year one.
Post-doctoral research fellowships are a
critical component in advancing cancer research, since they
reach young scientists with innovative project ideas at a time
in their careers when funding from other sources is less
certain. AICF’s Program differs from most of the
other U.S.-based research fellowship programs in that it
focuses primarily on providing opportunities for Italian
researchers to train and conduct research at the major cancer
centers in the United States. The Program has funded 349
post-doctoral research fellowships since its
inception.
