After the internal deadline, the review committee will select three nominees to move forward. They will be notified by email of their selection, on July 6, 2016. On July 12, the final nominees will attend to a working lunch meeting where they will have an opportunity to hear from the prior winners, and make contact with administrators from foundation development offices on campus and at the School of Medicine who can assist with proposal development. If you intend to participate in this competition, please hold these dates/times on your calendar.
