[Womeninmedicine] FW: Doris Duke Announces 2016 Clinical Scientist Development Award Competition

[Weisz, Ora Anna]

FYI- and note the kind offer of help writing/submitting these from Denise below.

Purpose
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 2016 Clinical Scientist Development Award consists of $150,000 annual direct costs plus $15,000 (10%) annual indirect costs for 3 years.

The Clinical Scientist Development Award does not require institutional nomination. Pre-proposals are being sought from junior physician-scientist faculty conducting clinical research in any disease area. It is recommended that applicants have significant research experience and strong publication records consistent with the assistant professor rank.

In keeping with the wishes expressed in Doris Duke's will, experiments that use animals or primary tissues derived from animals will not be supported by this program.
