4. HMS FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR JUNIOR FACULTY The Eleanor and Miles Shore 50th Anniversary Fellowship Program for Scholars in Medicine February 10, 2014 DEADLINE The Office for Faculty Affairs is pleased to announce the release of the 2014 Shore Fellowship application. The Eleanor and Miles Shore 50th Anniversary Fellowship Program for Scholars in Medicine seeks to support the academic success of junior faculty, women and men, at the most vulnerable point in their careers, namely, when young physicians and scientists must teach, do research, compete for grants, publish, and practice (if a clinical faculty member) at the same time they may be assuming increased family or other responsibilities. Stipends of at least $25,000 may be used to buy protected time from clinical or laboratory responsibilities to pursue academic work, including writing a grant application, preparing a manuscript, completing a research project, or developing a new curriculum. Funds awarded could also be used for additional laboratory assistance at a time when the junior faculty member does not yet have independent funding. http://www.fa.hms.harvard.edu/faculty-resources/faculty-development/fellowships/50th-anniversary-shore- fellowships/ For questions, please contact the Faculty Development Coordinator Megan Dross at (617) 432-1198 or hmsofa_programs@hms.harvard.edu hmsofa_programs@hms.harvard.edu
