The call for applications for the 2026 JAX Cancer Center (JAXCC) Visitor Scientist Program (VSP) is now open. Applicants with the host investigator must reach out to JAXCC Admin (at [email protected]) to initiate the VSP application packet (contains forms, letter of interest, CV, budget template etc.). Only faculty members (Asst., Assoc., or Full professors) at a U.S. based institution are eligible to apply.
The program will provide access to JAX’s innovative experimental and computational technologies, immerse participants in a welcoming, and stimulating scientific environment, and help build collaborations, skills, and datasets to launch new grant applications and publications. Visiting researchers will become part of JAX’s research community through the sharing of their expertise, ideas and perspectives, and the formation of long-term collaborations and relationships with JAX Cancer Center investigators and trainees.
The program is structured as two “tracks” - a two-week collaboration track or a three-month research-focused track, and can accommodate the varied schedules of the participants. The two-week collaboration track provides support for travel, accommodation, and meals for a visiting scientist and their accompanying trainee. The three-month research-focused track provides support for travel, accommodation, a stipend and research funding for a visiting scientist (as budget allows). Visiting scientists can come to either of our JAX research campuses in Bar Harbor, Maine or Farmington, Connecticut.
