We are seeking applications for the 2027 SACB Scholars Program, which will support travel fellowships covering all travel, lodging, food, and conference costs.
The SACB conference is committed to increasing the participation of early-career trainees in the cancer systems biology community. By promoting attendance at the meeting, we hope that trainees will:
In an effort to expand opportunities, the 2027 SACB Scholars program will support trainees with funding for conference related expenses, and will provide a one-on-one, peer mentor to facilitate participation in conference activities. Ideal candidates include undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdocs, and majoring or conducting research (for postdoctoral scholars) in a science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or medical field. No prior cancer systems biology experience is required or expected. We especially encourage trainees from broad research backgrounds, including those working in adjacent fields such as computational biology, bioengineering, physics, mathematics, data science, or other quantitative and life sciences, to apply.
SACB Scholar applicants are not required to have submitted a scientific abstract to the meeting. Instead, a brief essay is required describing the applicant’s interest in attending the SACB conference and in cancer systems biology more generally.
Due to limited funding to support travel expenses, priority will be given to applicants from the United States.
Scholar applications are open. The deadline for essay submission is Friday, Oct. 16, 2026.
We will notify all applicants of their application’s status by late November.
