Prospective fellows are asked to submit an application, available by clicking on the "Application Forms" link below. Each year, the Executive Committee of the Summer Oncology Research Fellowship Program reviews and selects approximately 20 applicants by early March. Students are asked to designate five areas of interest on their application. This information is then considered when matching accepted students with their mentors. Potential mentors review the accepted students' applications in their selected areas of interest and make selections from this pool. The mentors may then contact the students directly or through the Summer Oncology Program Coordinator. If an accepted student wishes to work with a specific mentor, the Coordinator will inform the faculty member of the interest and forward to him/her the student's application for review. The application deadline is Monday, January 28, 2008.

After a match has been made, the mentor approves the fellow's project and supervises the student throughout the fellowship period. The fellow's project should have a well-defined objective, as he/she will need to give a brief written and oral presentation at the end of the summer and could result in a scientific abstract and/or publication.

The application form can be downloaded as a Microsoft Word document, or in Adobe Acrobat PDF file format.

Deadline: Applications must be postmarked by Monday, January 28, 2008.
