Description
The PES Rising Star Grant is a small grant program from the Pediatric Endocrine Society designed to foster innovative research among fellows in pediatric endocrinology. The program aims to advance research training and development for fellows through direct funding of short-term projects, with a special focus on proposals relating to developmental biology of the testes or adrenal gland (Raphael David, MD Rising Star Grant). Projects are evaluated on significance, innovation, feasibility, and their potential to advance the fellow's research training.
