NIH offers three fellowship opportunities for graduate students aiming to become research scientists in fields serving to improve the human condition. If you are a US citizen or permanent resident, you are eligible to apply for the NIH F31 (or F30 if you are the PhD/MD program). If you want to pursue cancer research as a postdoc, you might be interested in the F99/K00 which is open to all students regardless of citizenship, however, only ONE student per year is allowed to apply (requiring a nomination process). All three of these fellowships fund the last 1-2 years of your graduate studies so you can just focus on your research; additionally, the F99-K00 funds up to 3 years of a cancer-research focused postdoc. This webinar session will provide a writing strategy for research plans as well as advice about preparing the other required documentation.
