Stand up to Cancer-CRUK Fellowships

The Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C)-Cancer Research UK Translational Research Fellowships will provide up to four grants for postdoctoral or clinical research fellows, each up to $315,000, over a four-year period. Fellowship support will be provided to talented and promising early-career investigators in the United States and the United Kingdom. Research projects must be translational in nature and address critical problems in cancer with the potential to deliver benefit to patients.

The proposed work must be performed in two phases, one in the United States and one in the United Kingdom. Each phase must be one to three years in length; the total support period is a maximum of four years. Applications must identify one mentor and host laboratory in the United States and one mentor and host laboratory in the United Kingdom. Mentors should be established leaders in cancer research with a track record of successful mentoring. The research proposal must describe how the work has the potential to advance to the clinic.

The deadline for applications is July 28 2014. For further information please visit the Stand Up To Cancer website.
