NIH Clinical Research Scholar Awards
These awards will provide multiyear funding to four junior
faculty and five postdoctoral trainees in a
multidisciplinary program for research training to begin
July 2005.
Scholars will receive rigorous, mentored clinical
research training and/or dedicated time and resources for
mentored clinical research and will learn how to
investigate problems in their field from a
multidisciplinary perspective. Emphasis can be on clinical
problems at many interfaces: bench to bedside, bedside to
clinical practice or clinical practice to populations.
Support for a stipend, a master's or doctoral degree and
performance of a research study is included. Applications
are due Feb. 1.

instructions can be found at
