We are pleased to announce the Yale Department of Surgery Academic Development Awards initiative, which aims to support early-career investigators, across the clinical, education, and basic science domains.
“The awards are unique insofar as they are exclusive to ladder faculty without previous grant-funding,” said Vice Chair or Research, Dr. Peter J Gruber. “The initiative is meant to foster early career development.”
The grants provide seed funding, ranging from $10K to $75K for preliminary data; and toward the goal of securing extramural funding at the end of the grant cycle.
“Our responsibility as healthcare leaders and clinical investigators, is to prepare the future; this is an investment in our people pipeline,” said Department of Surgery Chair, Dr. Nita Ahuja.
The application process requires support of an active mentor with a proven track record. Applications will be accepted thru Dec. 31, 2019, with grant funding to begin Feb. 1, 2020.
