4 Applicant must secure a sponsor who will supervise the proposed research

Other info: The Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) maintains a strong commitment to supporting early career investigators
and ensuring they can build a successful career in the field of lymphoma research. The LRF Postdoctoral Fellowship
Grant is designed to support investigators at the level of advanced fellow or postdoctoral researcher in laboratory or
clinic- based research with results and conclusions that must be clearly relevant to the treatment, diagnosis or
prevention of Hodgkin and/or non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Areas of research may
include, but are not limited to, etiology, immunology, genetics, therapies and transplantation. Historically, successful
applications in this program have focused on basic, translational, and epidemiological research. The LRF Grantee must
spend 80 percent of their time in research during the award period.
