Description: |
The Burroughs Wellcome Fund is requesting proposals from U.S. or Canadian degree granting institutions or consortia of institutions to engage and train talented individuals with only M.D. degrees to enter careers in biomedical research. To support and encourage ideas to tap this large group of potential researchers, the Fund will initially provide pilot funding of up to $30,000 to institutions to be used to develop innovative proposals as to how they would increase the number of M.D.?s entering research.
The institutions that receive the planning grants will then develop full proposals that outline their ideas and plans as to how they would utilize a $2.5 million grant from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund to increase the number of M.D.?s who enter research. |
