Postdoctoral Fellowship Awards
(fellowship application procedures and all criteria, click here)
Awards will be made for one-year postdoctoral fellowship support to candidates who possess a MD and/or PhD. Awards are typically $15,000, plus an optional travel supplement of $1,000 (travel supplement may be changed to fellowship funding at the end of the fellowship, upon request). Eligible applicants must be men or women who have already been appointed as a Postdoctoral Scholar, whose faculty sponsor is in the School of Medicine and is not an acting or consulting professor. The fellowship award will be made as stipend; no salary payments are allowed (scholars with H1-B, TN, and O-1 visas are ineligible). In addition to choosing those individuals with outstanding scientific track records and a carefully developed and realistic research project, preference will be given to those candidates with limited current or prospective financial support over the next year.
Travel Grants
(grant application procedures and all criteria, click here)
Travel awards to attend scientific, educational or professional meetings will be awarded to junior faculty (Instructors or Assistant Professors), postdoctoral scholars and MD, PhD, or MD/PhD graduate students. These students must be registered as School of Medicine students with a faculty mentor whose primary appointment is also in the School of Medicine.
