Yamagiwa-Yoshida Memorial International Cancer (YY) Study Grants provide postdoctoral researchers with opportunities to initiate or pursue cancer research projects with international collaborators, enabling them to exchange knowledge, skills, and techniques. The YY Study Grants are supported by the Japan National Committee for UICC, a full UICC member organisation since 1948. For almost 50 years, the YY Study Grants have contributed to the professional development of over 330 Fellows from over 40 countries.

Through this fellowship, I will have a unique opportunity to get new skills and training in leading-edge technology and methodologies in the field. It will offer me an excellent opportunity to reinforce existing collaborative relationships and establish new ones. It will help me achieve my academic and professional goals of developing an independent career in the field of thyroid research.” Laura Fozzatti, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina “This fellowship will give me the opportunity to forge ahead using a transdisciplinary approach towards discovery of new therapeutics for cancer control. The fellowship will be combining concepts of artificial intelligence for the development of an imaging platform for In-Ovo image analysis for preclinical testing of anticancer agents. In addition this fellowship will enable lasting collaborations with host lab for future collaborative research.” Seema Bhatnagar, Amity University Noida, India Partner The Japan National Committee for UICC is a group of Japanese organisations that are members of the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), gathered to support the UICC to strive to realise the World Cancer Declaration. Currently UICC-Japan is composed of 29 full Japanese UICC members, including major cancer specialists in Japan, cancer centres, research institutes, research funds, hospitals and cancer associations. Related pages Established in 1962, the Fellowships is one of UICC's oldest and most established portfolio of programmes. Virtual Fellowships allow cancer professionals from UICC member organisations to obtain expert learning and guidance in cancer control in English, French or Spanish, through a series of four one-to-one video calls with experts. Transfer of cancer control knowledge, skills and techniques through two-week to two-month international visits En 2017 UICC a lancé un programme de bourses pour le personnel de santé et les autres professionnels travaillant dans le domaine du cancer en Afrique francophone. In the last 60 years UICC has awarded over 4200 fellowships to cancer professionals from over 140 different countries. Fellows who have successfully completed a fellowship are invited to join the Association of UICC Fellows.
