American Academy of Dermatology Awards for Young Investigators in Dermatology
The AAD Awards for Young Investigators in Dermatology recognize outstanding basic and clinical/translational research by young dermatology investigators in the United States and Canada, and the dermatology departments that support their efforts. The purpose of the award is to acknowledge research contributions that further the improvement of diagnosis and therapeutics in the practice and science of dermatology.
Two outstanding young investigators will be selected as recipients of the award, which is presented during the AAD's Annual Meeting.
Each winner will receive an engraved plaque and a $6,000 prize that is shared equally between the investigator and the dermatology department supporting the research efforts.
The deadline for nominations is October 15, 2013.
The selection process
The Awards Selection Panel includes representatives from the Council on Science and Research; the editorial board of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology; the Association of Professors of Dermatology; the Society for Investigative Dermatology; an AAD member-at-large; and a resident in dermatology or past winner.
The four criteria for judging nominees are:
■ Originality of research concept.
■ Soundness of research design.
■ Quality/clarity of research report.
■ Perceived value of the research to dermatology.
Each criterion will be evaluated on a numerical, zero to five basis, with five being superior and 0 being well below average.
The total of the numerical rankings combined with the letters of recommendation will be used by the six physicians on the Awards Selection Panel to determine the winner.
If external collaborators or sources of external funding represent any perceived or actual conflict of interest with the AAD and its mission, the AAD reserves the right to exclude the applicant from consideration.

National Board of Medical Examiners Edward J. Stemmler, MD, Medical Education Research Fund (“The Stemmler Fund”) 2013-2014 Call for Letters of Intent
The goal of the Stemmler Fund’s 2013-2014 Call for Letters of Intent (CFLOI) is to provide support, through a program of annual grants, for research or development of innovative assessment approaches which will enhance the evaluation of those preparing to, or continuing to, practice medicine. Expected outcomes include advances in the theory, knowledge, or practice of assessment at any point along the continuum of medical education, from undergraduate and graduate education and training, through practice.
Pilot and more comprehensive projects are both of interest. Collaborative investigations within or among institutions are not only eligible but encouraged, particularly as they strengthen the likelihood of the project’s contribution and success.
Eligibility
The eligible applicants for Stemmler Fund grant awards are the medical schools accredited by the LCME or the AOA. Additional eligibility requirements include:
-- The number of Letters of Intent submitted by any eligible school is not limited. However, an individual may not be principal investigator on more than one Letter of Intent. The designated principal investigator must represent the primary applicant institution and must be responsible for project oversight and reporting. (The applicant institution’s rules apply regarding eligibility of their faculty, staff, or associates to serve as investigators.)
-- A maximum of two applications representing a revised Letter of Intent previously submitted to the Fund program will be accepted by the NBME. That is, applications addressing the same substantive study topic by the same investigators may be submitted for Fund consideration no more than a total of three times.
-- The primary investigators of prior Fund grants are eligible to reapply and compete (with new applicants) for one additional award through the Stemmler Fund Call for Letters of Intent for the same line of study. Current award recipients are eligible to compete again only if any current NBME support is expected to terminate satisfactorily by the beginning of the 2013-2014 project period (usually around July 1, 2014).
Budget Information
In the 2013-2014 cycle, applicants may request up to $150,000 of NBME funding support for a project period of up to two years. While a detailed budget should not be submitted as part of the Letter of Intent, applicants are required to include estimates of funding requested and project length on the application cover sheet submitted as part of the Letter of Intent process, and should be prepared to provide a detailed budget and descriptive narrative if they are invited to submit a full proposal.
Although only a budget estimate should be included in Letters of Intent, applicants who wish to be prepared to submit an Invited Proposal should consider the following regarding funds requested from NBME:
-- Both pilot and more comprehensive or large-scale studies which meet the Stemmler Fund’s goals are eligible; the amount of funds requested should reflect the scale of the proposed project.
-- A request for support, to purchase or lease equipment or for travel, is acceptable if the request has a unique association with the proposed project, is required to meet project aims, and represents a limited portion of the total request.
-- The institutional administrative costs requested for each year of the proposed project is limited to 10% of the total direct costs requested for each year. As an example, $68,180 (direct) + $6,818 (admin) = an annual NBME request of $74,998.
Selection Process
1. All submitted Letters of Intent will be reviewed by NBME staff to ensure eligibility and completeness.
2. Committee members will then evaluate Letters of Intent using the following criteria:
-- The extent to which the proposed research is innovative or will advance assessment in medical education or practice
-- The extent to which the proposed research addresses an important problem or issue in medical education or practice
-- The extent to which the proposed research is likely to be successful given the described design and methodology
3. The Stemmler Fund Steering Committee will then review all Letters of Intent and select a subset of Letters of Intent (e.g., 10-15) to be invited to submit full proposals.
4. All Invited Proposals will be reviewed by NBME staff to ensure completeness.
5. Peer reviewers with expertise in measurement, research design and methodology will then evaluate Invited Proposals using the following criteria:
-- The relevance and significance of the proposal to the purpose and goals of the Stemmler Fund program
-- The adequacy and completeness of the research design or methodology
-- The qualifications of the principal investigator and primary project staff
6. The Stemmler Fund Steering Committee will then review all proposals and peer reviews, giving careful consideration to the adequacy of the budget, timetable, and other key project resources in each proposal, and select awards.
The process for consideration of new proposals and competing renewals will be identical. The number of grants awarded will depend on the nature, quality, and level of the requests received in the 2012-2013 funding cycle. The NBME will provide feedback detailing the comments provided by reviewers of applications not selected for funding.

Urology Care Foundation/Astellas Rising Stars in Urology Research Awards
In 2005 the Urology Care Foundation initiated a new grant program to encourage young urology faculty to enter and remain in research careers, the "Rising Star in Urology Award." Applicants are Board-certified or -eligible urologists who have successfully competed for a new externally-funded, peer-reviewed career development award (i.e., K07/K08/K23 awards from NIH, or career development type grants from the Department of Defense, American Cancer Society or others). This program provides up to five years of supplemental salary support to career development awardees to ensure that their research salary compensation is competitive with other academic urology faculty. This supplementation allows the urologist to not only remain a contributor to their institution as a surgical specialist, but also have time to investigate potential treatments and cures to make a difference in the lives of urologists and the patients they serve. The participants are required to apply for independent, R01-type funding before the end of their award period.
The application package must be SUBMITTED no later than Friday, July 19th, 2013 at 5:00 pm LOCAL TIME. Applicants should allow ample time for compiling and submitting materials, including the electronic upload process. Late submissions will not be considered.
Urology Care Foundation Research Scholars Program
The Urology Care Foundation Research Scholars Program provides a valuable opportunity for young scientists to begin a career in urologic research at a time when many urology departments across the country are faced with budget challenges that limit research capabilities. One-year and two-year fellowships for MDs and PhDs are available for the 2013 Research Scholars Program.
The Urology Care Foundation requires Applicants to submit proposals electronically: http://www.auanet.org/research/research-scholar-awards-83.cfm.

Urology Care Foundation/Ferring Pharmaceuticals Urology Research Success Award in Prostate Cancer Research
The application package must be SUBMITTED by email no later than 11:59 p.m. LOCAL time on Monday, July 8, 2013.
The preponderance of urologic research is funded through federal and state governments and the philanthropy of private foundations and non-profit organizations. The competition for these limited funds is extremely intense. Many projects are funded through a series of grants, thus young scientists and senior researchers may experience gaps in funding while awaiting peer review and/or approval for a new grant to support the next phase of research.
Part of the mission of the Urology Care Foundation is to expand and support research in urologic diseases. Thanks to the generosity of Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the Urology Care Foundation is proud to offer the Urology Care Foundation/Ferring Pharmaceuticals Urology Research Success Award in Prostate Cancer Research. The award will provide up to $10,000 designed to assist a urology researcher in continuing vital urology research efforts while awaiting new funding. Research supported by this award ultimately will contribute to helping those who suffer from the effects of prostate cancer.
Please submit all application docurments to grants@urologycarefoundation.org.
