Description
The Pediatric Endocrine Society (PES) Junior Faculty Research Grants promote the early-career research development of academic pediatric endocrinologists. Formerly known as the Clinical Scholar Award, the program combines support for a research project with mentored career development, helping investigators build the skills and competencies needed for an academic research career. It is open to qualifying third-year pediatric endocrinology fellows and early-stage faculty members.
Supported research has addressed diabetes, glucose and lipid metabolism, growth, puberty, congenital hyperinsulinism, and skeletal conditions. The program also includes the Fima Lifshitz Junior Faculty Clinical Research Grant, supported by Dr. Fima Lifshitz and awarded annually specifically for clinical projects. PES favors applicants with career plans in North America and may prefer those without other substantial research funding.
