Clinical Scholar Awards
Purpose
To promote research on factors affecting human growth and development by young investigators beginning a career in academic pediatric endocrinology.
Qualification of candidate
Associate members and members in good standing are eligible for the Clinical Scholars Award. These awards are designed to support research of young investigators in the first three years of a junior faculty position. Completion of a minimum of two years of training in pediatric endocrinology is required. Any faculty rank should not exceed Assistant Professor.
Degrees
M.D. or M.D./Ph.D.
Sponsor
Established investigator with extramural research support.
Amount of award
The award is for $50,000.00 per year for two years. Funding for the second year is not guaranteed but is contingent upon continuation of corporate sponsorship to the Society for the second year. Support from the Clinical Scholar award is for research-related expenses, including technical support. The funds are not to be used for the salary of the awardee. Concomitant funding from other grants is not permitted for the Clinical Scholars Award. Questions about the funding should be directed to Ms Christy McGinty at christy@degnon.org.
NOTE: the applicant should submit a full CV; sponsors must submit only an NIH biosketch (rather than full CV).
Please Note:
The Scientific Portion of the application must be limited to no more than five pages (excluding bibliography), and in no smaller than 10-point font. An application exceeding these limits, or received after the due date will be returned to the applicant and not reviewed. The application should clearly delineate the work of the applicant from previous work of the mentor or group.
Important:
If human subjects are to be used in your research project, you must submit a letter of approval from your institution's committee on the use of human subjects in research. This letter cannot be sent with the completed application-it must be sent later, but must be received no later than March 3, 2008.
The 2008 winners have been announced. Congratulations to those who received the awards and thank you to all who applied!
