Deadline: 4 December 2015
The American Medical Association (AMA) is accepting applications for its Seed Grants Research Program with a motive to provide grants to support medical students, physician residents, and fellows in conducting small research projects.
The AMA Foundation established the Seed Grant Research Program in 2000 to encourage medical students, physician residents and fellows to enter the research field
Award Information
With a generous contribution from Genentech, Inc., in 2016 the AMA Foundation will be awarding grants of up to $2,500 in the areas of cardiovascular/pulmonary diseases and pancreatic cancer and $5,000 in the area of neoplastic diseases for small research projects.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applicants must be a medical student, physician resident or fellow of an accredited US medical school or institution; they must also be either a US citizen or a permanent resident of the US. Projects must be applicant-conceived, rather than ongoing research of their mentor or Principal Investigator.
- This program is open to both AMA and non-AMA members. Membership with the AMA does not factor into the grant selection process.
- Seed grants will not be awarded to any applicant who has previously received an AMA Foundation seed grant in the research category in which they are applying.
How to Apply
Interested applicants can submit their applications at the address given on the website.
