Research Grants
Research Grants Available to Medical Students, Residents, and Fellows.
The AMA Foundation is announcing a call for proposals for their 2006 Seed Grant Research Program for medical students, residents, and fellows. Grants ranging from $1,500 to $2,500 will help young physician scientists conduct small research projects. These funds are meant to round out new project budgets, and cannot be used for salary or stipend.

Grants will be awarded in six research categories: Arthritis/Rheumatism, Cardiovascular/Pulmonary Diseases, HIV/AIDS, Leukemia, Neoplastic Diseases, and Neurological Disorders. Applications are due by December 15, 2005 and recipients will be announced on March 15, 2006. Applications can be downloaded at www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/category/7785.html and questions can be e-mailed to seedgrants@ama-assn.org.

The AMA Foundation is also the major sponsor of the National and Regional Student Research Forums. Every year, students and residents convene at these forums to present their research, receive meaningful feedback, and participate in scholarly discussions with their peers and established scientists. To participate, abstracts must be submitted directly to the forums. For more information, visit
