AST Fellowship Grants
The 2011 AST Grants submission site is now open. The deadline for grant submissions is: MIDNIGHT EASTERN TIME ON FRIDAY NOVEMBER 12, 2010. To submit an application, please go to: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ast2011
The goals of the AST Fellowship Grants are:
- To foster training of new young investigators who have the potential to contribute to our understanding of transplant science/immunobiology and/or treatment of transplant recipients.
- To foster research that is of high merit.
- To encourage high quality applicants who want to develop a career in academic transplantation.
The AST Fellowship Grants are 2 year grants of $40,000/year, designed to provide salary support for individuals who have spent two years or less (at the time of the application) performing research in the area of transplantation since obtaining their last post-doctoral degree (PhD, MD or equivalent). See Eligibility Requirements for more detailed information.
The AST Fellowship Grant applications are submitted in one of two primary categories.
AST Basic Science Fellowship Grant
The AST Basic Science Fellowship Grants are intended to support work in transplantation biology ranging broadly from pertinent basic immunology to animal studies. All types of organ, tissue, and cell transplants will be considered. The project should provide a strong training vehicle for the applicant, in keeping with the overall mission of the AST Fellowship Grants.
AST Clinical Science Fellowship Grant
The Clinical Science Fellowship Grants relate to the observation and treatment of patients. Clinical Science Grants cover three main categories: Clinical Trials, Clinical Outcomes, and Translational Research that involves materials from human patients.
