AMA Foundation 2010 Seed Grant Program

The AMA Foundation sponsors a seed grant research program to encourage medical students, residents and physician fellows to enter the research field. The program provides grants to help them conduct small basic science, applied, or clinical research projects. These funds are intended to round out new project budgets rather than sustain current initiatives. In 2010, the foundation will award $2,500 grants.  The application deadline for the 2010 program is December 11, 2009. See the AMA Foundation web page for details. Application forms can be downloaded beginning in September.
