New for 2023: Expanded opportunity and increased project funding.
With the compression of many fellow training programs from three years to two more fellows are staying on at their institution and working on more complex research projects. To support fellows initiating their own projects or leading a significant component of a larger department project, EFF is restructuring our grant funding program.
- Applications Accepted: January 1 – March 10, 2023
- Project Start Date: June 1, 2023
- Applicants must be a current endocrine fellow or a recent graduate (less than 1-year post graduation) at the time of application.
- The project duration can be up to two years as long as the awardee remains at their institution.
- The grant award will be up to $10,000 depending on the project requirements as outlined in the submitted budget.
Annual Letter to Program Directors
from Mark Stolar, MD, EFF Board President
On behalf of the Endocrine Fellows Foundation, I would like to welcome back and thank those program directors whose fellows have participated in EFF sponsored activities in the past year, as well as introduce the varied EFF initiatives to those of you who may not be familiar with our organization. This continues to be a challenging time in medical education and we at EFF hope that our funded initiatives assist in our mutual goal of training the next generation of endocrinologists.
Our peer reviewed Fellows Research Grant Program remains robust. For 2022, the grant award was increased to $7,500 and seven grants were awarded in both the Spring and Fall cycles. I would strongly encourage those of you unfamiliar with our grant program to have your fellows apply for grant funding for mentor guided projects.
The two 2022 bone diseases programs were held in-person this year and were exceptionally well received highlighting principles of osteoporosis, bone metabolism and rare bone diseases. In August the Santa Fe Fellows Workshop on Osteoporosis and Metabolic Bone Diseases preceded the Santa Fe Bone Symposium in New Mexico and in September the Sixteenth Fellows Forum on Osteoporosis and Metabolic Bone Diseases preceded the ASBMR Annual Meeting in Austin, Texas. As in 2021 our 2022 Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism Research Forum was held virtually in February with an exceptional faculty and highly engaged fellows. Seven fellows gave oral presentations of their EFF Fellows Research Grant Program awarded projects and did a great job with the peer and faculty Q&A. We look forward to expanding this offering in 2023. Membership in EFF is free to all fellows and affords them access to cutting edge educational opportunities. The EFF Resources website features a Community Publications section where research articles and videos are shared. If you or members of your team would like to share links to your published articles or educational lectures, please send the details to us at info@endocrinefellows.org.
On behalf of John Bilezikian, Ricardo Correa, Derek Leroith, Annaswamy Raji and myself, we strongly encourage you to have your fellows come on board with EFF for the duration of their training.Wishing all of you an outstanding beginning to the new academic year!
Best, Mark Stolar
