About the Fellowship
Trainees complete a combination of core curriculum courses, mentored research activities, and seminar participation. In addition, they practice preparing and writing different types of grant applications. Working with their mentors, fellows also customize the program to their specific interests and career goals.
Because national priority areas for the prevention of cancer will continue to change over time, trainees must be conversant with principles of each component of cancer prevention and be prepared to shift their focus. The structure of the program reflects the need to give trainees a broad overview of the field of cancer prevention, a shared body of core knowledge, and the tools to identify new priority opportunities.
This fellowship draws on the teaching, research, and field activities of Harvard Chan School as well as the expertise of the members of the Dana-Farber Harvard/Cancer Center, including Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
