Research Opportunities
Daland
Fellowships in Clinical Investigation
The American Philosophical Society awards a limited number of Daland Fellowships
in Clinical Investigation for research in the several branches of clinical
medicine, including internal medicine, neurology, pediatrics, psychiatry, and
surgery. The committee emphasizes patient-oriented research. The fellowships are
designed for qualified persons who have held an M.D., or M.D./Ph.D. degree for
less than eight years. The fellowship is generally intended to be the first
post-clinical fellowship; but each case will be decided on its merits.
Preference is generally given to candidates who have not more than two years of
post-doctoral training and research. Applicants must expect to perform their
research at an institution in the United States, under the supervision of a
scientific adviser.
Stipends for the fellowship are $50,000 for the first year and $50,000 for the second year. The term of the fellowship is one year, with renewal for one year if satisfactory progress is demonstrated. The Society provides no funds for institutional overhead. The Society expects that essentially 100% of the Fellow's time will be devoted to research. With the cognizance of the committee, teaching or clinical service of a limited amount is permitted.

Clinical Scientist Awards in Translational
Research
The program's goal is to foster the development and productivity of outstanding physician-scientists who will strengthen
translational research -- the two-way transfer between basic research and patient care. The awards are intended
to give recipients the freedom and flexibility to explore fundamental scientific questions, to apply the resulting
knowledge at the bedside, and to bring insights from the clinical setting back to the laboratory for further exploration.
The Fund is interested particularly in supporting investigators who will bring novel ideas and new approaches to
translational research. Proposed activities may draw on the many recent advances in the basic biomedical sciences
that provide a wealth of opportunities for studying and alleviating human disease. Large-scale clinical trials,
epidemiological studies, and health services research are not eligible for support. Grants of up to $150,000.
