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.

For general information on eligibility criteria, the application process, and other details about this grant, visit the AACR website.

In this week's episode of The Cancer Letter Podcast, editor and publisher Paul Goldberg, and associate editor Jacquelyn Cobb revisit two of last week’s most-read stories: the growing recognition that early-onset colorectal cancer requires a new diagnostic mindset, and the life and legacy of Maura Gillison, the scientist whose discovery that most head and neck cancers are driven by HPV transformed the field. 
For decades, we have faced a central challenge in colorectal cancer screening. One in three eligible Americans—over 50 million people—remain unscreened despite established methods like colonoscopy or stool-based tests existing for decades. This gap persists even though early detection saves lives, and even as colorectal cancer is now the number one cancer killer for Americans under 50.
