The Adams Grant: a Trainee-Mentored Research Project for Residents and Fellows
The Department of Pathology, generously supported by the Robert B. and Jean G. Adams Foundation, strongly encourages research among its residents and fellows.
Resident and Fellow trainees have the opportunity to enhance their research objectives by undertaking a mentored research project, supported by grants of up to $2,000.
The Ona Faye-Petersen Educational Support Fund
This fund, established in 2019, supports UAB Pathology Residency and Fellowship Trainees' attendance of courses, workshops, and symposia at national and international meetings. These meetings may include multidisciplinary meetings, but preference will be given to Pathology meetings.
Doctoral Student and Postdoctoral Research Fellow Meeting Travel Awards
The department is offering travel awards to doctoral students and postdoctoral research fellows who will be presenting their research at a national scientific meeting. Ten travel awards (up to $500) will be available each year, in three cycles, with at least three awards available each cycle. Each Lab/Primary faculty should submit no more than two applications per cycle. Each Lab is eligible for a maximum of two awards per year. To ensure all eligible individuals are notified of this award, we ask that you forward this email and attachment to doctoral students and postdoctoral research fellows in your laboratories, as not all students/postdocs are included in PATH user distribution lists. The program is now accepting applications for fall/winter travel (November - February cycle). The deadline for applications is November 1, 2024.
Briefly, required application materials include:
1. A copy of the submitted abstracted, oral or poster presentation, and copy of email confirmation of submission and acceptance.
2. A short paragraph outlining what scientific meeting will be attended and how attending this meeting contributes to training.
3. Brief biosketch/CV of applicant, including years in program, research lab and qualifying exam status (student) or years in lab (postdoc).
4. A letter of support from PI/mentor.
Application submission: Email all required materials as a single pdf file identified by the applicant’s name (i.e., LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME) using: Novembe.np7vpzcgmpepmum8@u.box.com
