American Association for Cancer Research: Breast Cancer Research

The American Association for Cancer Research invites applications for the AACR-Lobular Breast Cancer Alliance Invasive Lobular Carcinoma Research Fellowship, a joint effort to support and encourage innovative research projects with direct applicability and relevance to invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) and to help establish a successful career path in the field. 

The fellowship provides a two-year grant of $120,000 to support the salary and benefits of postdoctoral or clinical research fellows working on mentored ILC research projects. A portion of these funds may be designated for non-personnel expenses such as research/laboratory supplies, equipment, publication charges for manuscripts that pertain directly to the funded project, and other research expenses.

To be eligible, at the start of the grant term of July 1, 2023, applicants must be within five years since degree/or medical residency (degree cannot have been conferred before July 1, 2018), work under the auspices of a mentor, propose a project with a lobular breast cancer focus, and work at an academic, medical, or research institution. There are no citizenship or geographic requirements.

Letters of intent are due January 20, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. ET, and upon review, selected applicants will be invited to submit a full application, due April 21, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. ET.
