Cancer Prevention Fellowship Program: Program Components Master of Public Health degree Mentored research Summer Curriculum in Cancer Prevention Fellows’ Research Meetings Cancer Prevention and Control Colloquia Grant writing workshop Professional development training (e.g., leadership, oral presentations)

NCI Summer Curriculum in Cancer Prevention Two courses: –Principles and Practice of Cancer Prevention and Control –Molecular Prevention Lecturers: senior scientists and practitioners ~85 participants per course (~50% international) Annual “Advances in Cancer Prevention” Lecture

Other fellowships that help with the transition Commissioner’s Fellowship at the FDA AAAS Science and Technology Fellowship Emerging Infectious Disease Fellowship at the CDC Presidential Management Fellows

Final Thought Even if you stay in bench science a knowledge and understanding of the public health literature can be a great asset to both your publication record and your ability to get grant funding.

Thank you!
