Fellowship Grants

The Florida Breast Cancer Foundation Fellowship for Breast Cancer Research. The primary goal of the FBCF fellowship program is to encourage promising individuals to pursue careers in breast cancer research while supporting breast cancer research within Florida's premier Cancer Centers.

This will be a two year research fellowship funded at $100,000 with matching funds of the same amount from the institution, part of which may cover overhead that your institution typically charges non-profit organizations. The fellows will be an M.D. who has completed a residency in oncology, pathology, diagnostic radiology, surgical oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology or a Ph.D. with at least two years of solid post-doctoral experience.

The fellows have demonstrated academic and research productivity, with a commitment to breast cancer research.
