THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR CANCER RESEARCH is now accepting applications for the Stand Up To Cancer-Cancer Research U.K. Translational Research Fellowship, which will provide up to four grants for postdoctoral or clinical research fellows, each up to $315,000, over a four-year period.

This grant opportunity is provided by SU2C and Cancer Research U.K. and is the first joint research project resulting from the collaboration between the two groups announced in 2012.

The fellowship will provide four years of research support to early-career investigators in the U.S. and U.K. Research projects must be translational in nature and address critical problems in cancer with the potential to deliver benefit to patients.

The proposed work must be performed in two phases, one in the U.S. and one in the U.K. Each phase must be one to three years in length, and the total support period for this fellowship is a maximum of four years.

Project proposals are due by noon ET July 28, via proposalCENTRAL.

Despite steady progress in reducing overall cancer mortality rates, cancer incidence in women is rising, according to the American Cancer Society’s “Cancer Statistics, 2025” report. Incidence rates in women 50-64 years of age have surpassed those in men, and rates in women under 50 are now 82% higher than their male counterparts, up from 51% higher in 2002. In 2021, for the first time, lung cancer incidence was higher in women under 65 than in men. 
Over the past five years, Cedars-Sinai Cancer has built an integrated, regional system designed to provide cancer care close to where patients live and work. This model of care, directed by an academic medical center to patients at the community level, proved to be the best possible approach to supporting patients in our 11-million-person catchment area during the worst fire disaster in California history.
