The AASLD/ALF Liver Scholar Award is a three-year, basic science award of $75,000 per year that endeavors to encourage young investigators to pursue a career in liver-related research. Overview The goal of the Liver Scholar Award is to provide young scientists with support for their research to bridge the gap between completion of research training and attainment of status as an independent research scientist. The additional research experience provided by this award is intended to enable them to successfully compete for research grants from national sources, particularly the NIH. The long-term goal is to attract well-trained investigators, who hold MD, PhD or MD/PhD degrees, to a career in liver disease research. AASLD currently supports a total of five Liver Scholars. Objective These awards are for the purpose of developing the potential of outstanding, young scientists and encouraging research in liver physiology and disease. Therefore, individuals who already are well established in the field are not considered eligible for this award.
