This fund was made possible by a bequest from Sallie Rosen Kaplan, who had a deep and abiding interest in the education of her family and in making opportunities available for others. The Sallie Rosen Kaplan Fellowship for Women Scientists in Cancer Research at the National Cancer Institute is a competitive program for female postdoctoral fellows applying to train in any of the National Cancer Institute’s intramural research settings. Fellows are supported by a Cancer Research Training Award, with an augmented stipend for women in the first year provided by the Kaplan Fund.
