American Association for Cancer Research : AACR Minority Scholar Awards in Cancer Research


AACR Minority Scholar Awards in Cancer Research are offered to eligible minority scientists wishing to attend the Annual Meeting and Special Conferences of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR). The awards are supported by a generous grant from the Comprehensive Minority Biomedical Program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Those eligible for these awards are graduate and medical students, residents, and clinical and postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty from minority groups considered underrepresented in cancer research by the NCI, i.e., African Americans, Alaskan Natives, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, and Native Pacific Islanders.
Deadline: November 21, 2005

American Heart Association: Florida/Puerto Rico Affiliate - Health Science Student Fellowship


To provide opportunities for health science students to work for at least three months consecutively with a faculty member on any project related to the mission of the American Heart Association. The goal is to encourage students to consider a future academic career in this area. This program is targeted to predoctoral M.D., D.O., D.D.S., PharmD., DVM (or equivalent) health science students.
Deadline: October 3, 2005

American Society for Microbiology: UNESCO-ASM Visiting Resource Person Program


Members of the ASM who will be visiting developing nations on academic or other business can arrange to spend a day with colleagues at a University or Research Institute in a major city. UNESCO has provided ASM with funds to cover the cost of the extra day's stay in that nation. The ASM member is expected to present a seminar to faculty and students in the institution and to spend the rest of the visit as a resource person discussing novel ideas for scientific research, curriculum development and international co-operation with local faculty and students.
Deadline: October 3, 2005

American Otological Society Research Fund : AOS Clinician-Scientist Award


The American Otological Society, Inc., through its Research Fund, is offering Research Grant Awards, an Award for a Clinical Trial, full-time Research Training Fellowships, and a Clinician-Scientist Award. Research supported by the Research Grant Awards and by the Award for a Clinical trial must be focused on the study of otosclerosis or Ménière's disease. A description of the relationship between the research study and otosclerosis or Ménière's disease is an integral part of the application. The full-time Research Training Fellowships and the Clinician-Scientist Award can support the training of the recipient in research on any topic related to ear disorders.
Deadline: January 31, 2005

Sandler Program for Asthma Research : Asthma Research Program


SPAR's mission to develop important new pathways of investigation in basic research on the pathogenesis of asthma. Because the program seeks groundbreaking ideas, outstanding investigators from outside the field of asthma are particularly encouraged to apply. Preliminary results are not required. The application is brief, and there is a quick turnaround time for review. Investigators with prior experience in asthma research are eligible to apply, but they must demonstrate that the proposed work represents a departure from their current and past research. Another important objective of the Program is to promote scientific interaction between Awardees. To faciliate this, an Annual Meeting of Awardees is held.
