A new call has opened for the Yamagiwa-Yoshida Memorial International Study Grants, a unique opportunity to pursue a cancer research collaboration abroad for 3 months.

The application closing date is 15 September 2018

The UICC are pleased to announce a new call for proposals for the 2018 Yamagiwa-Yoshida (YY) Memorial International Cancer Study Grants.

Investigators who want to increase their knowledge and research skills in cancer control can do so through a 3 month international visit.

Unlike previous years, there will be just one call for proposals in 2018, so we encourage you to take advantage of this valuable opportunity.

These are 3 month Study Grants with an award value of up to US$10,000 towards travel and living costs, funding 

• International collaborative cancer research projects
• Training in research methods and techniques in basic, translational, implementation or applied cancer research
• Exchanges in complementary skills and knowledge in cancer control

Cancer investigators can apply, including epidemiologists and public health professionals who:

• hold a PhD (or equivalent degree) at least 2 years prior to the YY application closing date
• are actively engaged in basic, translational, implementation or applied cancer research
• have authored recent publications in international peer-reviewed literature
