About CRI Irvington Postdoctoral Fellowship Program
The CRI Irvington Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is one of the most prestigious training opportunities in immunology and cancer immunology. It supports outstanding young researchers at the world’s leading universities and research institutions, providing the resources, mentorship, and professional development needed to launch independent scientific careers at the forefront of discovery.
Benefits of CRI Irvington Postdoctoral Fellowship Program
Fellowships provide three years of support, including a stipend of $74,000, $76,000, and $78,000 in years 1-3. The host institution receives a $5,000 annual allowance for use at the sponsor’s discretion to cover costs such as research supplies, conference travel, health insurance, or childcare.
CRI Irvington Postdoctoral Fellowship Program Requirements
Applicants must have a doctoral degree by the date of award activation and must conduct their proposed research under a sponsor who holds a formal appointment as an assistant professor or higher rank at the host institution.
Applicants must be working in areas directly related to immunology or cancer immunology. An eligible project must fall into the broad field of immunology with relevance to solving the cancer problem.
Applicants who will have 5 or more years of mentored research experience at the time of award activation are not eligible, with the exception of M.D. applicants, who should not include years of residency in this calculation. Applicants should use their doctoral degree conferral date when calculating eligibility.
Only in exceptional circumstances will applicants who have already spent 3 or more years in a sponsor’s laboratory by the start date of fellowship be considered for a fellowship award.
The fellowship can be performed in the United States or abroad but must take place at a non-profit institution. There are no citizenship restrictions.
Only 1 fellow per sponsor may apply per application round, and faculty sponsors may not have more than 3 CRI-supported fellows at any time.
Resubmissions: Applicants are permitted to resubmit their fellowship application at a subsequent deadline provided that the new application is improved to reflect progress. Changes to the application should be addressed within the subsequent application.
