Follow-up messages from Dr. Lisa Nielsen:
The NCI F99 Fellowship is open to third and fourth year PhD students in cancer-related research areas (“in the biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences”) who would like funding to finish their PhD and start a postdoctoral position after graduation. There are no citizenship requirements for the F99. Please note that this year’s F99 solicitation requires the university to nominate one student to apply. My office will oversee the selection process and will file the nomination for the selected applicant.
