Description
The Raphael David, MD Rising Star Grant is part of the Pediatric Endocrine Society’s Research Grant Program for Fellows. It provides small-scale support to encourage research efforts during pediatric endocrinology fellowship. The named award gives preference to applications related to the developmental biology of the testes or adrenal gland, rather than limiting eligibility exclusively to those topics.
The grant is offered through the broader PES Rising Star Grant program, alongside—but separately from—the Society’s larger Research Fellowship Grant program. Its priorities include advancing the fellow’s research training as well as supporting the proposed research. Applications are assessed for scientific significance, innovation, research approach, analysis plan, feasibility, training potential, and justification of how the funding will advance the fellow’s research agenda.
