GLOBAL IMPACT
The Prevent Cancer Foundation® funds a series of fellowships focusing on rapid transfer of knowledge and technology in cancer prevention and early detection. This program was initiated through a partnership with the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), an international non-profit organization.
UICC Technical Fellowships allow health care professionals from around the world to learn new techniques and skills in the early detection and treatment of cancer at top research and cancer institutes. The majority of awarded fellows come from low- and middle-income countries. The UICC fellowships are generously supported by the FitzGerald Family.
