Postdoctoral, Clinical, and Physician-Scientist Fellows
Richard B. Warnecke, PhD, Postdoctoral Fellowship
The Richard B. Warnecke, PhD, Postdoctoral Fellowship program strives to meet an imperative need to train exceptionally talented and diverse scientists engaged in cancer health disparities research, addressing issues across the cancer continuum from etiology and primary prevention to treatment and survivorship. The award is $15,000 for a one-year period.
The award is named after the late Richard B. Warnecke, PhD, Professor Emeritus, and a longtime Cancer Center member and a national leader in cancer control research. For more than 40 years, he conducted research and community outreach that provided immeasurable service to women with cancer. His effort was in addressing inequities in health outcomes, going well beyond simply identifying risk factors. He worked to develop and implement interventions that made a difference in so many women’s lives.
