The program is designed to enable new investigators (with less than
five years of prior postdoctoral training) to obtain sufficient
training to begin a career as an independent investigator in cancer
research.

Eligibility: Candidates must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents
    of the U.S. and must hold doctoral degrees in the appropriate
    disciplines.

    three years. The annual stipend is $28,000, $30,000 and $32,000

    institutional allowance of up to $2,000 per year may be 
    requested.
