For the Resident Option the PI must be an early-career clinician performing their residency with an interest in becoming a physician-scientist.Career Guide: Inclusion of a Career Guide, experienced cancer researcher, as demonstrated by a strong record of funding and publications, is required for both the Fellow Option and the Resident Option.
