2006 CLINICAL SCIENTIST
AWARDS IN TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH
The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research is seeking
candidates to be nominated for the Burroughs Wellcome Fund 2006 Clinical
Scientist Awards In Translational Research.
Deadlines
| UIC | June 15, 2005 |
| BWF | September 1, 2005* |
Program Description:
The program’s goal is to foster the development and productivity of established independent physician-scientists who will strengthen translational research, through their own studies as well as by mentoring physician-scientist trainees. The awards are intended to give recipients the freedom and flexibility to explore fundamental scientific questions, to apply the resulting knowledge at the bedside, and to bring insights from the clinical setting back to the laboratory for further exploration. BWF hopes these efforts will lead to better understanding of the mechanisms of disease as well as to new methods of diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease.
Awards:
Clinical Scientist Awards in Translational Research provide $750,000 over a period of five years ($150,000 per year). UIC may nominate up to four candidates for this award. If UIC nominates more than two (2) then at least one must be female and at least one candidate must be a member of an underrepresented minority group.
Eligibility:
Candidates must
- Hold an MD or MD-PhD degree
- Hold an appointment or joint appointment in a subspecialty of clinical medicine
- Hold a tenure track or equivalent position at the late assistant professor or associate professor level
