Eligibility-Early Career Awards
Those eligible to apply include:
- Physicians who are in a residency/fellowship training program, or who completed that program no more than one year before the date of submission of the concept paper.
- Post-doctoral researchers who received the doctoral level degree no more than three years prior to the date of submission of the concept paper.
A new investigator who holds a National Institutes of Health (NIH) K award is not eligible to apply for the Thrasher award. An investigator with an application pending for a NIH K award may apply to the Thrasher Research Fund Early Career Award Program, but if both are awarded, the Thrasher award must be relinquished.
There are no restrictions with regard to citizenship. Each project needs to be under the guidance of a mentor. The qualifications and experience of the mentor will be considered in the evaluation of the application. A mentor may have only one Thrasher Research Fund New Researcher grantee at a time. |
