Dr. Gerald Moore, Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs announced the nomination cycle for the Nellie House Craven Scholarship in Academic Medicine today.

The award is available for the 2015-2016 academic year and covers a significant portion of tuition, living stipend, and travel

The purpose of this special award is to identify and motivate qualified individuals toward a career in academic medicine. This objective is best met by identifying and assisting students who have a clear commitment to research with academic medicine as a career goal.

Individuals do not apply for this award, but rather candidates are identified and nominated by faculty. A faculty member willing to serve as a research advisor must prepare a written nomination which must include information about the candidate’s qualifications and a research proposal (see attachment). The nomination and research proposal must be approved by a department chairperson. The qualifications of the candidate, the proposed program of training, and the research program of the faculty member are all considered in judging a nomination.

The nomination deadline for the 2015-2016 selection cycle is February 27, 2015.  Nominations are to be returned to Gerald F. Moore, COM dean’s office, zip 5520.
