Description
The Fima Lifshitz Junior Faculty Clinical Research Grant promotes the early-career research development of academic pediatric endocrinologists. Administered by the Pediatric Endocrine Society (PES) and supported by Dr. Fima Lifshitz, it awards one grant annually specifically for clinical projects. The program combines research support with mentored development toward an academic research career.
Applicants describe how the proposed work will advance their career goals, the skills and competencies they intend to develop, and the training and mentoring activities that will support that development. PES favors applicants with career plans in North America and may prefer those without other substantial research funding. The Society encourages applicants who reflect the diversity of people and cultures within its membership.
