The application process for the MRSG involves several key steps:
1. Letter of Intent: Applicants usually need to submit a letter of intent outlining their research proposal and career development plan. 2. Full Proposal: Selected candidates will be invited to submit a full proposal, which includes detailed descriptions of their research project, career development plan, and mentorship arrangements. 3. Peer Review: The full proposals are reviewed by a panel of experts in cancer research. The review process assesses the scientific merit of the proposal, the potential for the applicant to develop into an independent researcher, and the quality of the mentorship plan. 4. Funding Decision: Based on the peer review, the American Cancer Society will make funding decisions and notify the applicants.
