Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Clinical Scientist Development Award
Internal deadline: October 26, 2009
The Doris Duke Clinical Scientist Development Award provides grants to junior physician-scientists to facilitate their transition to independent clinical research careers. Three-year grants of $125,000 per year in direct costs and $10,000 per year in indirect costs will be awarded.
Applicants must
- be a physician-scientist conducting clinical research in any disease area;
- have received an M.D. or a foreign equivalent from an accredited institution;
- be working in a U.S. degree-granting institution, but do not have to be a U.S. citizen;
- have a full-time faculty level position not higher than the Assistant Professor level;
- and have been appointed to their first full-time faculty level position between January 1, 2005 and January 1, 2010. (All full-time post-fellowship Instructor level positions will be considered full-time faculty level appointments).
There are no fellowship level or research associate level awards as part of this competition.
In addition, an award will not be made if, prior to the commencement of this award, the applicant has been or becomes the principal investigator on a National Institutes of Health, peer-reviewed, R01 research grant and/or the principal investigator on a research project that is part of a P01 program project or a P50 center grant.
Applicants are allowed to hold a National Institutes of Health K series award or other career development award at the same time as the CSDA grant. However, applicants must propose distinct and different research aims in their CSDA application and there should be no scientific or budgetary overlap.
Experiments that utilize animals or primary tissues derived from animals will not be supported by this program.
Before submitting an application for this internal competition, it is the applicantŐs responsibility to visit the foundation website and verify that both the applicant and their project meet ALL eligibility criteria.
