NCI short term scientist exchange fellowships
The Short-Term Scientist Exchange is one of the programs of the Office of International Affairs (OIA) of the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI). It promotes collaborative research between established U.S. and foreign scientists by supporting, in part, exchange visits of U.S. cancer researchers to foreign laboratories, or foreign cancer researchers to U.S. laboratories. The visits may be from one week to six months in duration.
