AV俱乐部

The Burroughs Wellcome Fund is seeking planning grant proposals from medical schools in the United States and Canada to create programs with the intent of increasing opportunities for the physician interested in a research career. This is a five-month planning grant (up to $30,000) to focus on developing a full proposal for submission to the Burroughs Wellcome Fund to create programs to increase the number of MDs who enter careers in research.

Initially the Fund will provide the planning grant to 20-25 institutions to develop full proposals for the award. Up to 10 institutions will then receive awards of $2.5 million ($500,000/year over five years) to institute their proposed activities.
