The Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP) Era of Hope Postdoctoral Award supports exceptionally talented recent doctoral graduates who possess both the ambition and the ability to pursue highly innovative breast cancer research during their postdoctoral training. The proposed research should challenge current scientific dogma and demonstrate that the applicant has an ability to look beyond tradition and convention. Award recipients will be expected to challenge the status quo through creative, high-risk, potentially high-gain research that ultimately may lead to the eradication of breast cancer.
These fellowships are designed to attract qualified, promising scientists entering their professional career in the diabetes research field. The applicant is required to work with a sponsor who can provide a training environment conducive to beginning a career in type 1 diabetes-relevant research. At the time of activating the award, the applicant must have a doctoral degree (Ph.D., M.D., D.M.D., D.V.M.) or the equivalent from an accredited institution and must not be simultaneously serving an internship or residency. The Advanced Postdoctoral Fellowship program is designed to attract qualified and promising health scientists, to provide an opportunity to receive full time research training, and to assist these promising individuals in transitioning from a fellowship to an independent (faculty-level) position. JDRF envisions the 3-year award term as a period in which fellows will receive critical research training that will position them to work at the leading edge of their chosen field. An additional, optional 1-year "transition" award will further assist fellows to proceed to independent faculty or research appointments and will serve as a bridge between the fellowship and independent competitive research funding. During the fellowship phase, the applicant is required to work with a sponsor who can provide a training environment conducive to beginning a career in diabetes-relevant research.
