Faculty, graduate students and research associates interested in working> in partnership with the University of Hawaii Cancer Center faculty members by pursuing research, working in a laboratory, learning new skills, or focusing on cancer education, research or outreach may apply for funding from the U54 grant for support for a summer in residence at the University of Hawaii at Manoa campus.

The goal of such an experience is to acquaint our faculty with the resources available at the University of Hawaii Cancer Center and to prepare a proposal for a research or outreach project at the University of Guam funded through the National Institutes of Health - National Cancer Institute U54 partnership grant.

Applicants will team with a mentor from among the UH Cancer Center faculty for the summer 2016 term to develop a research or outreach project proposal for funding through the Cancer Research Center for years 4 - 5 of the U54 grant. Applicants are invited to submit a letter of interest with a clear idea for a research or outreach project to the Co-Investigators. Summer salary will be paid by the grant along with travel costs. Housing in Hawaii will be funded by our partners at the University of Hawaii Cancer Center.
