Program Description:
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 the American-Italian Cancer Foundation's (AICF) Scientific Advisory Board Executive Committee of work completed during the first year.

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 cancer 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.
