Lymphoma Scientific Research Mentoring Program

The Lymphoma Research Foundation’s LSRMP provides two-year, track-based mentoring and educational support to early-career clinical and laboratory/translational lymphoma researchers—combining an intensive workshop, ongoing mentorship, and follow-up activities plus small Scholar grants to jump-start independent projects.

- Lab/Translational Track: Postdoctoral fellows (≤8 years post-PhD), clinical fellows with translational focus, or early faculty (Instructor ≤5 years post-degree or Assistant Professor ≤4 years in rank) devoting ≥80% effort to non-clinical lymphoma research.
Timing: Applicants may not exceed track-specific time-since-training limits as of March 1, 2026 (extensions for major life events; one-year COVID allowance).
