The National Cancer Institute (NCI), the largest component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is the nation’s premier biomedical research facility and a world leader in cancer research. NCI recognizes the importance of identifying, training, and mentoring talented researchers from populations underrepresented in science and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Toward this end, the NCI created the Introduction to Cancer Research Careers (ICRC) Program. The ICRC Program sponsors highly-qualified students on an all expense paid, two-day visit to the NIH located in Bethesda, Maryland. ICRC participants will have the opportunity to tour the facilities of the NCI and the NIH, listen to and network with research fellows, and potentially interview for an internship with NCI Investigators. This program provides participants with the opportunity to experience the NCI first-hand and personally interact with the world’s leading cancer researchers.
Successful candidates for the ICRC Program will have a strong academic record, demonstrated research experience, and a commitment to a career in biomedical, behavioral, or population science research.
