The Fight Colorectal Cancer-AACR Fellowship, in memory of Lisa Dubow represents a joint effort to encourage and support a postdoctoral or clinical research fellow to conduct translational or clinical research that focuses on novel THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES for late-stage metastatic colorectal cancer. This grant will support a project designed to lead to individualized therapeutic options for treatment or the development of promising new cancer therapeutics for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Emphasis will be placed on proposed projects which will translate into clinical applications within a few year period, including those with predictive biomarker studies.
The fellowship provides a one-year grant of $50,000 to support the salary and benefits of the fellow while working on mentored metastatic colorectal cancer research. A partial amount of the funds may be designated for non-personnel research expenses, such as research/laboratory supplies.
