Eligibility: Ph.D./M.D./Other Professional

Abstract: This award is granted to support one year of clinical training, which is not restricted to the first year of training. Applicants for the ACR REF/Amgen/Pfizer Rheumatology Fellowship Training Award may also be eligible for the ACR REF Paula DeMerieux Rheumatology Fellowship Training Award. In order to qualify, the trainee must be a member of an underrepresented minority within rheumatology, or a woman.

Applicants may also apply for Fellowship Training Pilot awards, designed to specifically address three objectives, listed below in priority order:

1) Creation of a new fellow position, preferably one that was previously ACGME-accredited but was unfilled due to lack of sufficient fellow salary funding;

2) Increasing the number of underrepresented minority trainees; and/or

3) Providing a slot committed to trainees with a high likelihood of pursuing an academic rheumatology career.

Division of Mathematical Sciences


Aug 19, 2011 Confirmed Letter of Intent

The purpose of the FRG activity is to allow groups of researchers to respond to recognized scientific needs of pressing importance, to take advantage of current scientific opportunities, or to prepare the ground for anticipated significant scientific developments in the mathematical sciences. Groups may include, in addition to mathematical scientists, researchers from other science and engineering disciplines appropriate to the proposed research. The activity supports projects for which the collective effort by a group of researchers is necessary to reach the scientific goals. Projects should be scientifically focused and well-delineated. It is not the intent of this activity to provide general support for infrastructure. Projects should also be timely, limited in duration to up to three years, and substantial in their scope and impact.
