Fellowships & Positions - Cancer Research Interns

The CCR "Cancer Research Interns" Program was inaugurated in 2004 to further embrace diversity of trainee applicants to CCR. Over the past eight summers we have placed 203 of the 374 students recruited in labs and branches across the CCR. The CCR Office of Training and Education provides the training dollars, some Service & Supply funds, and travel support for those students who meet the financial eligibility criteria (click here to view flyer). We have also expanded our network of colleges, universities, and minority-targeted programs to bring a new group of fellows to the CCR each summer.
