Charles E. Culpeper Scholarships in Medical Science

Abstract

The Rockefeller Brothers Fund is currently accepting applications for its 2003 Charles E. Culpeper Scholarships in Medical Science Program designed to support the career development of academic physicians. Up to four awards of $100,000 per year for 3 years will be made to United States medical schools or equivalent United States educational institutions on behalf of candidates who are U.S. citizens or aliens who have been granted permanent U.S. residence (proof required); who have received their M.D. from a U.S. medical school or the equivalent of an M.D. from an educational institution equivalent to a United States Medical School in 1994 or later (except under extraordinary circumstances, as approved by the Fund before submittal); and who are judged worthy of support by virtue of the quality of their research proposals. All scientific research relevant to human health is eligible for consideration. No institution may nominate more than one candidate. In selecting awardees, emphasis will be on identifying young physicians with clear potential for making substantial contributions to science as academic physicians. Since January 1988, 49 physicians have been selected as Charles E. Culpeper Medical Scholars. Deadline for applications is August 15, 2002. Awards will be announced in January 2003, for activation on or about July 1, 2003. Application forms and instructions may be obtained on the Web at www.rbf.org or by contacting:
