Applications for training fello'wships in 1974-1975 are invited from
junior scientists wishing to be trained in any aspect of laboratory and
clinical cancer research. The Agency is, however, especially interested
in receiving applications íor training in epidemiology, biostatisics and
environmental carcinogenesis — both chemical and viral. Priority will
therefore be given to candidates working in these' fields.
Applicants should be engaged in research in medical or allied scien-
ces and intend to pursue a career in cancer research.
Fellowships are awarded for one year and are tenable in a suitable
institution abroad. FelloWs will, in general, be selected from applicants
with some post-doctoral research experience related to cancer in medicine
or the natural sciences. They must have an adequate knowledge, botli
written and spoken, of the language of the country in which their fellow-
ship is tenable.
Applications cannot normally be accepted from people already hold-
ing fellowships enabling them to study abroad.
Stipends will vary according to the cost of living in the country! of
study. The cost oí travel for the applicant and, in certain circumstances,
that of his wife and children, will be met.
