Sponsor a Fellow

Thanks to the generous support of its donors, AICF is able to fund the innovative
research projects of bright young scientists at a time in their careers when funding from traditional sources is less certain. 

AICF funds up to 18 fellowships annually.  The fellowship award takes the form of
​a stipend that covers living expenses for a one-year period.

Named Fellowships
​A named fellowship can be established with a gift of $40,000 and will fully fund
the research of one post-doctoral student for the academic year. A $20,000 gift
constitutes a partially-named fellowship and will underwrite half the cost of one
fellowship for the year. Contributions in amounts under $20,000 will be added to
the International, Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship Fund.

A named or partially-named fellowship may be established in honor or memory
of a loved one or friend. Donors may also choose to fund a fellowship related
to a specific type of cancer research (e.g., breast, pancreatic, prostate, lymphoma, etc.). 

At the donor's request, AICF will arrange a meeting or call between the fellow and sponsor
during the course of the fellowship period.

If you are interested in discussing the possibilities for establishing a named
fellowship, please call Executive Director Cristina Aibino at 212-628-9090
​or send an e-mail to caibino@americanitaliancancer.org.

Gifts can also be made online.
