Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Invites Nominations for Clinical Scientist Development Award

A program of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, the Doris Duke Clinical Scientist Development Award provides grants to junior physician-scientists to facilitate their transition to independent clinical research careers.

Each accredited, degree-granting institution — which includes all affiliated graduate schools, related hospitals, and research institutes — may nominate up to two candidates. Different divisions, departments, hospitals, centers, or schools of the same degree-granting institution should confer to submit a single slate of nominees.

The applicant must be a physician-scientist who is conducting clinical research in any disease area; has received an M.D. or a foreign equivalent from an accredited institution; is working in a U.S. degree-granting institution (but does not have to be a U.S. citizen); has a full-time faculty level position not higher than the assistant professor level; and was or will be 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 the competition.

In 2010, the foundation plans to award up to fourteen three-year grants of $125,000 per year in direct costs and $10,000 per year in indirect costs to junior faculty level physician-scientists conducting clinical research in any disease area.
