To facilitate the implementation of resident research projects, funding support is also available for selected research projects. Additionally, protected time in the form of research electives are granted to selected residents who have formulated a research project and plan with their mentor.
The Faculty Resident Research Grants consist of $2,000 awards per research proposal, part of which may be utilized for travel to scientific meetings to present research results. The request for applications (RFA) is announced in November and the grant applications are due by April of each academic year. Funding is available as of July 1 of the next academic year after a grant review process and selection of the proposals for funding by a faculty committee.
Stead Resident Research Grant applications also consist of $2,000 awards per research proposal. Applications open in the summer of each academic year, allowing a second opportunity for residents to apply for funding. Stead Resident Research grant applications are due in September of each academic year and are funded by the Stead Scholarship Committee.
The Residency Program provides travel funding for residents to attend and present their research abstracts and papers as posters or oral presentations at state, regional and national medical society or scientific meetings..
For more information about research funding opportunities, please contact Dr. Nia S. Mitchell, nia.s.mitchell@duke.edu
