Claflin Distinguished Scholar Awards

The following funding opportunities are only open to local PIs at MGH through the rest of the fiscal year (September 30, 2025). Starting in the new fiscal year, (October 1, 2025) all opportunities funded with internal funds will be open to all PIs and trainees across MGB through ECOR

We are no longer accepting applications for the 2025 cycle.

Recognizing that a significant obstacle to career advancement is the difficulty of maintaining research productivity alongside the responsibilities of parenting, ECOR established the Claflin Distinguished Scholar Awards.  It is intended that this transitional funding will increase opportunities for primary caregivers to advance to senior positions in academic medicine.

Awards are for $60,000 per year in direct costs for two years; plus 20% indirect costs per year.
