Description
The Clinician Science Awards, administered by the Center for Gerontology & Healthcare Research at Brown University, aim to empower junior faculty in clinical departments by providing both funding and structured mentorship. The awards are intended to foster the development of independent research careers with a focus on aging. Since 1989, the program has supported a diverse range of projects, from physiological studies to research on health outcomes among older adults.
Awardees receive mentorship from Center faculty, typically involving monthly meetings and statistical consultation, and may use funding for research assistants, programming support, salary offset (with departmental approval), or MPH tuition. The program emphasizes innovative approaches to aging research and expects applicants to present a clear plan for career development and research independence.
