2023 Passano Foundation Clinician-Investigator Award for Career Development

Each awardee is provided $37,500 annually for 2 years to support salary and fringe benefits, allowing protected time for research that will enable the awardee to acquire the experience and preliminary results necessary to apply for external grant support and career development opportunities. Full-time clinicians at the Instructor or Assistant Professor level are eligible. 

The Center for Advanced Research Training & Innovation (CARTI) will be handling the internal review process for this award. Send applications to Dr. Marey Shriver (mshriver@som.umaryland.edu) by October 2rd, 2023.
