MGH Physician-Scientist Development Award

The MGH Physician/Scientist Development Award is designed for MD and/or PhD investigators at MGH who are considered underrepresented in academic medicine (UIM). This award is intended to provide transitional funding for support in the development of physicians and/or scientists who are underrepresented in academic medicine, and thereby increase opportunities for UIM researchers to advance to senior positions in academic medicine at MGH.  The Center for Diversity and Inclusion will evaluate the need for this award on a regular basis. 

For the purposes of the PSDA, MGH follows the definition of underrepresented in medicine and biomedical research of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and the National Science Foundation (NSF).  UiM groups may include Latino/Hispanic (including Brazilian), African-American/Black, American Indian, Native American, Native Hawaiian and Alaskan Natives, among others.
