About

The American Cancer Society is a nationwide voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer. Founded in 1913, it is one of the oldest and largest cancer-fighting organizations in the United States. The ACS focuses on cancer research, patient support, prevention, and advocacy, working to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through research funding, free lodging for patients traveling for treatment, a 24/7 helpline, and community-based programs.

Funding Opportunities

Postdoctoral Fellowships

Postdoctoral Fellowships support new investigators in research training programs to position them for independent careers in cancer research. As part of their evaluation, peer reviewers consider how well the fellowship will broaden the applicant's research training and experience. These fellowships provide stipends and allowances to support postdoctoral researchers pursuing cancer-related research at US academic institutions and eligible nonprofit organizations. The program aims to develop the next generation of cancer researchers through comprehensive training and mentorship. Fellows receive progressive annual stipends along with allowances for professional development, conference attendance, and other expenses. The program also offers a generous parental leave option that extends the grant term while maintaining stipend payments, allowing fellows to balance career development with family responsibilities.
