Description
The Pediatric Endocrine Society (PES) offers the Raphael David, MD Rising Star Grant to support and encourage research during pediatric endocrinology fellowship. This small research grant gives preference to applications related to the developmental biology of the testes or adrenal gland. That scientific focus is a preference, rather than a restriction limiting all eligible research to those areas.
The named award is part of the PES Rising Star Grant program, which plans to fund approximately five grants annually, including one Raphael David award. The program provides an additional avenue of fellowship research support alongside the Society’s established, larger Research Fellowship Grant program.
