Dual Mentor Fellowships
Fellowships from either an NIH training grant or FHCRC or private funds exist for postdoctoral and predoctoral trainees who wish to be involved with interdisciplinary research. The purpose of this program is to provide funds for research projects that are truly interdisciplinary in nature. The applicant must identify two mentors from different fields of research who will contribute meaningfully to the training program. Some of the sources of funding for this program require that the project be related to cancer or HIV. Please be sure to specify how your project is relevant to these areas of research.NIH Training Grant and FHCRC Fellowships
The trainee must be a U.S. citizen, non-citizen national, or have permanent resident status. NIH training grant funding guidelines stipulate that no individual trainee may receive more than 5 years of aggregate Kirschstein-NRSA support at the predoctoral level and 3 years of aggregate Kirschstein-NRSA support at the postdoctoral level, including any combination of support from Kirschstein-NRSA institutional research training grants and individual fellowships. Therefore, trainees who have already received this level of NIH funding are not eligible to apply for the training grant fellowships. Support from NIH research project grants awarded to faculty do not count towards the 3 year eligibility rule.
Note that this training grant is managed through the University of Washington, so your paycheck and benefits will be UW-based.
Please be sure to check the appropriate box on your application if you are eligible to receive an NIH Training Grant slot.
FHCRC Fellowship
Trainees must be based at FHCRC, but can have any residency. One 8-12 month fellowship is available for a graduate student or a 1st or 2nd year postdoctoral fellow. Both mentors should be at FHCRC, but the research can be in any area. Paycheck and benefits will come from FHCRC.
There are no available positions on either of the Dual Mentor training grants. Please check back again soon.
