NCI iCURE Program is Accepting Applications until November 25th
Text Heading link
The Intramural Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (iCURE) program is accepting applications through November 25, 2024, for Fall 2025 research experiences! iCURE provides mentored research experiences for qualified students and scientists from diverse backgrounds on NCI campuses in Bethesda, Rockville, and Frederick, MD.
NCI is particularly interested in encouraging applications from individuals who are from diverse backgrounds, including those who are from groups underrepresented in the cancer research workforce, for example those from the groups noted in the Notice of NIH’s Interest in Diversity (NOT-OD-20-031). An iCURE scholar must be a U.S. citizen, non-citizen national, or an individual who has been lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States.
The program offers:
- Two-year awards for post-baccalaureate (including post-master’s) individuals
- Two-year awards for graduate students
- Three-year awards for postdoctoral fellows
- Professional and career development support
- Connection to an extensive and sustaining mentoring network
Principal investigators (PIs) may have the option to provide support for additional years.
Potential applicants should visit the iCURE webpage for eligibility information, application instructions, and the recording and materials from the October 2 pre-application webinar.
If selected, iCURE scholars may conduct research in the Center for Cancer Research (CCR), Center for Global Health (CGH), Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG), or Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS).
iCURE is an extension of the highly successful Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) program, which helps support the career progress of its scholars toward research independence, as well as fosters the biomedical research pipeline.
