Doris Duke Charitable Foundation
Clinical Scientist Development Award
URL for complete guidelines: http://www.ddcf.org/mrp-csda
Brief Description:
The Doris Duke Clinical Scientist Development Award provides grants to junior physician-scientists to facilitate their transition to independent clinical research careers..
The transition to an independent research career is often more difficult for physician-scientists conducting clinical research than it is for other researchers, as these individuals must balance both the demands of seeing patients with those of conducting research. The Medical Research Program created the Clinical Scientist Development Award to provide support to physician-scientists during this critical stage of career development.
Award Amount:
The foundation plans to award up to 14 three-year grants in 2010 of $125,000 per year in direct costs and $10,000 per year in indirect costs to junior faculty level physician-scientists conducting clinical research in any disease area.
Eligibility:
Applicants must:
- Be a physician-scientist conducting clinical research in any disease area;
- Have received an M.D. or a foreign equivalent from an accredited institution;
- Be working in a U.S. degree-granting institution, but do not have to be a U.S. citizen;
- Have a full-time faculty level position not higher than the Assistant Professor level; and
- Have been appointed to their first full-time faculty level position between January 1, 2005 and January 1, 2010. (All full-time post-fellowship Instructor level positions will be considered full-time faculty level appointments.)
Limitation:
