FELLOWSHIP APPLICATION SUMMARY
General Information
National Cancer Center (NCC) has established funding for a limited number of post-doctoral fellowships for qualified applicants to receive training and experience in molecular genetics and the cellular aspects of cancer biology and tumor immunology. Preference will be given to studies directly relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of human cancer.
Funding
Post-doctoral fellowships from NCC are established at $60,000 for the first year and $62,000 in the second year if renewed. Fellowships are intended for applicants under age 35 with less than two years of post-doctoral laboratory experience, except in extenuating circumstances. Fellowships are also limited to applicants having received no more than one prior fellowship or one career development award. Individuals receiving concurrent support from another organization are not eligible to apply.
Fellowship awards are not necessarily restricted to salary. Depending on the circumstances, part of the funds may be used for supplies or other valid expenses, which should be listed in the proposed budget. NCC reserves the right to delete any item it deems inappropriate.
The fellowship may be transferable upon application and review if the fellow leaves the sponsoring organization.
Awards are limited to one per laboratory. There can be several different applications if they are on different topics. However, only one award can be made per lab in any round of applications.
NCC fellowship grants do not include funds for institutional overhead and a statement by the institution accepting this condition is required.
Notification of awards will be approximately May 10, 2026.
Fellowships generally are extended for a second year. However, adequate progress must have been demonstrated during the first year as evidenced through a progress report submitted with the renewal application.
Scientific publications resulting from research activity undertaken during the fellowship period
must acknowledge support from National Cancer Center. Please alert NCC of these publications.
Deadline: Application must be received in West Islip, NY, on or before December 22, 2025
Late arriving, incomplete, or applications not conforming to the above instructions will not be considered
