The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) is offering the Clinical Oncology Research Training Fellowships Program. This program is designed to provide an effective industry-academic clinical practicum with a unique training opportunity to develop academic clinicians in drug development. Each fellowship provides $100,000 over one year for the fellow to work on site at the facility of one of AACR’s pharmaceutical industry partners.

Program Description:-

  • This fellowship is designed for early-career clinical scientists who hold a medical degree (MD, DO, or MD/PhD) and are interested in acquiring the knowledge and skills related to clinical trial design and execution from the perspective of the pharmaceutical industry. 

  • The fellow will gain real-world experience in clinical development, including drug development, clinical research, clinical trial design, and data analysis. 

  • It is expected that the fellow will be accountable for executing clinical research project(s) and completing the research within the one-year program. 

  • Depending on the background of the fellow, additional focus areas may also be provided (e.g., preclinical research, biomarker discovery). 

  • Opportunities for publication and presentation of the research will be provided. The industry partners for this program and their research areas include the following:

    • Agenus (facility located in Lexington, MA): Clinical development of a pipeline of novel immune therapies

    • AstraZeneca (facility located in Gaithersburg, MD): Early-stage and late-stage clinical development in immuno-oncology

    • Bayer Healthcare (facility located in Cambridge, MA): Early-stage and/or late-stage clinical development in oncology

Program Duration:-

12 months. Note that the continuous duration of time spent on site at the industry site may be flexible and will be determined on a case-by-case basis between the fellow, the fellow’s academic institution, and the industry partner (e.g., if a fellow must return to their academic institution during parts of the 12 month term to complete clinic duties).

Eligibility Criteria:-

Applicants must:

  • Have a medical degree (including MD, DO, or MD/PhD), and not currently be a candidate for a further doctoral degree.

  • Have enrolled in an accredited hematology/oncology or radiation oncology fellowship program at an academic, medical, or research institution within the United States.

  • Not be employees or subcontractors of a U.S. government entity or for-profit private industry or be clinical fellows applying from a U.S. government laboratory.

Benefits:-

The grant value is $100,000 USD for a one-year period.
