Two members of the IACR Executive were elected by the Association Officers to prepare the application form and guidelines for the Calum Muir Memorial Fellowship, Dr A. Nandakumar and Dr David Roder. The application material is available on the IACR website fellow.htm (and from the Secretariat in Lyon). Drs Nandakumar and Roder are also acting as Selection Committee for 1998 and 1999.
The first Calum Muir Fellowship was awarded to Dr Nguyen Manh Quoc, from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, in 1998. Dr Quoc divided the time of his fellowship between Madras, to learn about the Cancer Registry’s methods of follow-up, and IARC in Lyon studying survival analysis.
As a reminder, the Fellowship is intended to help personnel working in cancer registries to spend some time in host institutions/registries which can offer learning opportunities not available in the home institute. A candidate may be awarded a fellowship to attend workshops or training courses concerning registration, epidemiology and the use of registry data in cancer control.
