AACR-Ocular Melanoma Foundation Research Fellowship

A two-year fellowship for a postdoctoral or clinical researcher seeking to conduct ocular/uveal melanoma research and to establish a successful career path in this field.

The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) is a large professional organisation dedicated to advancing cancer research. Its mission is to prevent and cure cancer through research, education, communication and collaboration.

The AACR-Ocular Melanoma Foundation Research Fellowship represents a joint effort to to encourage and support a postdoctoral or clinical research fellow to conduct ocular/uveal melanoma research and to establish a successful career path in ophthalmology, ocular oncology, uveal melanoma biology, or a similar field.

The research proposed for funding must be translational or clinical in nature and must have direct, primary applicability and relevance to ocular/uveal melanoma. If the research project is applicable to cutaneous melanoma as well, it must be focused primarily on uveal melanoma and its specific biology.
