The PES Junior Faculty Research Grants are designed to foster early career research development among academic pediatric endocrinologists. These grants support fellows in their third year of endocrine training or early-stage faculty members (no higher than Assistant Professor) who are committed to advancing research in pediatric endocrinology. The program emphasizes diversity, equity, inclusion, and the importance of strong mentorship and institutional support. Awardees are expected to present their findings at the national Pediatric Endocrine Society (PES) meeting and acknowledge PES support in resulting publications. Both clinical and basic research projects are eligible, with a dedicated annual award for clinical projects (the Fima Lifshitz Junior Faculty Clinical Research Grant).
