This annual award supports a scientist at the post-doctoral level. This scientist works along side an expert FSH researcher on their own project. The expert researcher serves as a mentor and collaborator with the FSH Scholar. Awards are up for a two-year period, with the second year dependent on successful completion of the first year’s stated objectives. The amount is $100,000 for salary, and research support for a full-time Fellow paid over two-years. The grant will be prorated for part-time investigators.
We have awarded the FSH Scholar Fellowship Award for 2011-2013. Applications for the next FSH Scholar Fellowship will be accepted in March 2012.
