The Jahnigen Career Development Awards Scholars Program offers two-year career development awards to support junior faculty in anesthesiology, emergency medicine, general surgery, gynecology, ophthalmology, orthopaedic surgery, otolaryngology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, thoracic surgery and urology.. The award allows individuals to initiate and ultimately sustain a career in research and education in the geriatrics aspects of their discipline. Each grant will provide two-year support of $75,000 per year for salary and fringe benefits and/or the costs of doing research. In 2005, due to funding guidelines from the supporting foundations, we instituted a requirement that each scholar's institution provide a minimum match of $25,000 per year. The application should delineate the source of the matching funding and the line item budget should provide information on the allocation of the matching funds in support of the Scholars work. Up to ten awards will be given in 2009. The Jahnigen Award may not be used to support indirect costs. Awards are not transferable to another institution.
Eligibility Eligible candidates must meet the following criteria: Be a physician who is a US citizen or permanent resident Be certified or board eligible to practice in one of the following targeted specialties: anesthesiology, emergency medicine, general surgery, gynecology, ophthalmology, orthopaedic surgery, otolaryngology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, thoracic surgery, urology Have a primary academic appointment in a US institution in one of the specialty departments listed above. Have completed his/her training (residency and/or fellowship) on or after June 30, 1999.
