Daland Fellowships in Clinical Investigation

Scholarship Description

The APS awards a limited number of Daland Fellowships in Clinical Investigation for research in the several branches of clinical medicine, including internal medicine, neurology, pediatrics, psychiatry, and surgery. The committee emphasizes patient-oriented research.

The fellowships are designed for qualified persons who have held an M.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degree for fewer than eight years. The fellowship is usually intended to be the first post-clinical-training fellowship, but each case will be decided on its merits. Preference is usually given to candidates who have not more than two years of postdoctoral training and research. Applicants, both U.S. citizens and foreign nationals, must expect to perform their research at an institution in the United States, under the supervision of a scientific advisor. Direct contact with patients is mandatory.
