Academic doctors have a unique chance to get specialized industry-academic clinical training focused on drug discovery through the AACR Research Training Fellowships. The purpose of these fellowships in the United States is to enable hands-on training at the facilities of the pharmaceutical industry partners of the American Association for Cancer Research.
A significant one-year stipend of $100,000 is awarded to you as an AACR fellow to support your training and research initiatives, allowing you to fully commit your time and energy to the training program. Your living expenses and other training-related expenditures are covered by this stipend, which frees you up to concentrate solely on learning new things.
The initiative expedites the translation of state-of-the-art research discoveries into possible cancer medicines and treatments by combining the best of both worlds. The collaboration between academic institutions and industry partners is mutually advantageous and contributes to the overall advancement of the battle against cancer.
