Description:

The Cancer Research Society supports new or continuing research activities by independent investigators in the broad field of cancer. Fellowship awardees must spend at least 80% of their time in research. During tenure of an award, fellowship awardees are not permitted to receive remuneration for any other work or hold a second major scholarship. They may, with the approval of their supervisor, engage in and accept remuneration for limited departmental activities which contribute to their development as independent researchers, limited so that the stipends received do not exceed 25% of the amount of their fellowship award. All fellowship applicants must ensure that recent official transcripts are sent directly to the CRS by the appropriate University authorities.

Please read the Sponsor guidelines carefully for detail instructions. The amounts awarded for fellowships are either $37,000 or $42,000 per year and the maximum duration of a fellowship is three years. Each fellowship awarded by the CRS is re-evaluated annually. Renewal requests must be made each year. This program is highly competitive.

Application Details:

Fellowships are offered to candidates holding a Ph.D., or a professional degree (M.D., D.M.V., etc.) and undertaking research training in a laboratory recognised by the Society. The Society awards fellowships only during the first three years following the award of a doctorate degree. Candidates wishing to undertake post-Ph.D training in the same department in which they received their doctorate degree may be disqualified for the award.

The deadline for submission of a grant or fellowship application is Tuesday, February 15th, 2011. Applications must be courier stamped on this day.

INDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY THIS PROGRAM.
