Description
The Pediatric Endocrine Society (PES), with support from the Human Growth Foundation, offers this fellowship grant to support the final year of research training for highly qualified individuals preparing for careers in academic pediatric endocrinology. Both clinical and basic research projects are eligible. One award each year is selected from proposals focused on growth, bone, or rare general endocrine disorders within the broader PES Research Fellowship Grants program.
The award combines project support with an emphasis on research training and mentorship. Review considers the scientific importance and suitability of the project for the fellow, the mentoring plan, mentor support and funding, and the local research environment.
