At times a number of smaller awards are pieced together for a larger award. We try to award all available other funds to continuing students. Competitive Funds are available from a variety of on-campus programs. Appointments Appointments are made for a period of two years, generally beginning on September 1st and ending on August 31st two years later. The UNC Lineberger Cancer Control Education Program has a competition for fellowships for pre-doctoral training in cancer prevention and control research.
Fellows participate in an academic program, including coursework and seminars.
Under the direction of a faculty preceptor, the fellows also conduct cancer prevention and control research. First-year students with exceptional credentials may also be considered. Preceptors must be faculty of the Cancer Control Education Program. Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents. The emphases of the training program are the organization, financing, utilization, quality and evaluation of personal health care services and public policies for ensuring access to such services.
