Ver abajo para mas información: The Cancer Prevention Fellowship Program at the National Cancer Institute is an excellent postdoctoral training opportunity that provides training in public health and mentored research with world-renown investigators at the NCI. The overarching goal of the CPFP is to provide a strong foundation for clinicians and scientists to train in the field of cancer prevention and control. The Fellowship Program leadership strongly encourages behavioral scientists to apply, as this is a multidisciplinary program that many behavioral scientists have completed and found to be an invaluable experience. As part of the program, we offer training toward an M.P.H. degree at an accredited university during the first year, followed by mentored research with investigators at the NCI. Opportunities for research cut across a wide range of methodologies: basic science laboratory studies, clinical studies, epidemiologic studies, community intervention trials, studies of the biological and social aspects of behavior, policy studies, and research on the ethics of prevention. The CPFP provides competitive stipends, paid health insurance, reimbursement for moving expenses, and a travel allowance to attend scholarly meetings or training. The typical duration in the CPFP is 4 years (year 1: master’s degree; years 2-4: NCI Summer Curriculum in Cancer Prevention and mentored research). To be eligible, applicants must possess an M.D., Ph.D., J.D., or other doctoral degree in a related discipline (e.g., epidemiology, biostatistics, ethics, philosophy, or the biomedical, nutritional, public health, social, or behavioral sciences) or must be enrolled in an accredited doctoral degree program and fulfill all degree requirements by June 21, 2010. Foreign education must be comparable to that received in the United States. Applicants must also be US citizens or permanent residents and have no more than five years relevant postdoctoral experience.
