The grant funder (National Cancer Institute - NCI) requires that paid fellows in this program be United States citizens or permanent residents.
NCI also requires that participants either be enrolled in a program
leading to a PhD or comparable research doctoral degree
or have already completed a doctoral degree (either MD or PhD).
Pre-doctoral degree applicants are evaluated for the training program on the basis of their academic record, work experience, references, and goal statements. Although applicants do not need any formal prior experience in cancer prevention and control, preference is given to applicants who demonstrate that their educational goals and career plans are consistent with the program's training objectives.
