With the support of the Helmsley Charitable Trust, AHCJ will be presenting the National Cancer Reporting Fellowships with expertise from the National Cancer Institute and others. AHCJ will select 10-12 journalists to spend four days on the campus of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., to increase their understanding of and ability to report accurately on complex scientific findings, provide insight into the work of cancer researchers and to better localize cancer-related stories.

Sessions will arm fellows with the tools they need to read oncology studies, reviewing the hierarchy and quality of evidence. They will learn to make sense of guidelines and screening.

The application deadline is Sept. 21.
