    • AAP Section on Critical Care: 2007 New Investigator Research Award (unfortunately, no award will be available in 2008 due to budget restraints.)

      The American Academy of Pediatrics' Section on Critical Care is pleased once again to fund a New Investigator Research Award. The 2007 award will be for $10,000 and is available to section members during their pediatric critical care fellowship, or within 2 years of completing an accredited critical care fellowship. The award, which is competitive, will provide support to an individual who has demonstrated aptitude for clinical or basic science research and who presents a sound plan of investigation. Section on Critical Care membership is required.

      The award will be judged on scientific merit, clarity of presentation, likelihood of productivity by the investigator, sponsor's evidence of appropriate academic environment, and relevance to critical care.

      The deadline for the New Investigator Award Grant 2-Page Pre-Proposal for 2007 has passed. The full award description, application, and requirements are available as a download here, or from Sue Tellez, 800/433-9016 (x7395), e-mail: stellez@aap.org
