Fund to Retain Clinical Scientists at the Yale School of Medicine (FRCS) - Due Sept 16th 2019
Please see the following website for details: https://medicine.yale.edu/ycci/education/jrfacscholars/frcs/frcs/
Made possible through the generosity of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation
The goal of this unique and exciting program is to retain early-career physician-scientists in research. The FRCS Program provides research funds to a select number of junior physician-scientists who are strongly committed to careers in clinical research, are engaged in funded research, and have a compelling need for the award in order to maintain research productivity in the face of extraordinary caregiving needs. The awards are given to researchers engaged in high quality research who may need additional support to manage caregiving needs as they make their way to the next step of their careers. Yale is one of the few centers in the country that were selected for this timely and important award.
