The American Institute for Cancer Research’s Marilyn Gentry Fellowship is a research program that supports emerging leaders in the field of diet, nutrition, and cancer.
Offering support for up to three years, the University of North Carolina – American Institute for Cancer Research Marilyn Gentry Fellowship Program in Nutrition and Cancer provides early career investigators the opportunity to work in a mentored environment, and gives them access to the resources of the Institute for the Advanced Study of Diet, Nutrition and Cancer and the Michael Hooker Research Center at the Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
A special program, the Fellowship is dedicated to developing tomorrow’s leaders in nutritional research for cancer prevention and survivorship. We are proud of our numerous fellowship alumni making impactful contributions to our understanding of cancer and their continued growth as leaders in the field.
