Awards - Berlex Scholar Award in Basic Science Research


Berlex Scholar Award in Basic Science Research

Purpose

The Berlex Scholar Award in Basic Science Research provides the opportunity for clinician-investigators who wish to initiate new studies or who are currently conducting promising basic science research in the area of reproductive medicine to continue work on their projects for an additional year. One or more of these awards may be presented annually, as determined by the Board of Trustees.

Eligibility

Candidates must have completed an approved residency or fellowship in the field of obstetrics/gynecology. Candidates who are in an active training program as of January 1, 1999, will not be eligible. As this award is intended to support early career development, the applicant should be junior faculty. If not yet faculty, the individual should have reasonable assurance of such a position within a department of obstetrics and gynecology, as evidenced by a Letter of Endorsement from the department head.

Selection, Presentation, and Terms

Selection of award recipients will be made by a Selection Committee of three Foundation Trustees and ratified by the entire Board of Trustees.

A one-year scholarship of $50,000 is awarded to the institution in which the award winner is conducting research. The terms of the award mandate that $40,000 of this amount be proffered directly to the Berlex Scholar as a stipend; the remaining $10,000 is designated for laboratory support. It is expected that the candidate will devote a minimum of 50% of his/her time to the research activity. A progress report six months after the receipt of the award and a final year-end report are required.
