Robert L. Fine Cancer Research Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship Award

About this program

The Robert L. Fine Cancer Research Foundation offers one one‑year Postdoctoral Fellowship in pancreatic cancer research providing a $60,000 stipend plus $5,000 discretionary funds to support an outstanding early postdoctoral scholar. Funded projects must be innovative basic science or translational studies (including pilot/feasibility, self‑contained projects, or new methodology/technology); purely clinical studies are not eligible. Applicants must have received a PhD, MD, or MD/PhD within the past six years, already be accepted to join a lab for postdoctoral training, and secure a letter of recommendation from the lab PI; MD/MD‑PhD candidates with clinical duties must commit 90% effort to research and applicants currently funded by another individual postdoctoral fellowship are ineligible (non‑U.S. citizens are encouraged to apply). Application materials submitted as a single PDF include a signed cover letter, 3‑page research strategy with Specific Aims, 1‑page career development plan, NIH biosketches for applicant and PI, up to three recommendation letters (including the PI), and institutional support/visa documentation as applicable; deadline and funding period are TBD.
