Silber Fellowship closed until January 2010
The American Cancer Society's Joseph S. Silber Student Fellowship is designed to acquaint undergraduate* and graduate students to the field of cancer research through participation in on-going research in a faculty member’s laboratory in the hope that cancer research will become the student's lifelong interest and/or pursuit.
The fellowship provides a $2,000 stipend for 8-10 weeks between June 1 and August 31 for the student to be engaged hands-on in the sponsor’s lab and gain exposure to cancer research. The summer internship must be conducted at an institution only in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, near Cleveland.
