Eugene R. Mindell, MD, and Harold Brody, MD ’61, PhD, Clinical Translational Research Award

The Eugene R. Mindell, MD, and Harold Brody, MD ’61, PhD, Clinical Translational Research Award promotes and supports the discovery of new knowledge that is critical for the continued advancement of the medical profession and improvement of health care.

To advance human health, scientific discoveries must be translated into practical applications. Such discoveries typically begin at “the bench” with basic research — in which scientists study disease at a molecular or cellular level — and then progress to the clinical level, or the patient's “bedside.”

When such information is applied to the problems of health maintenance and cures for diseases, it could well provide new tools for developing innovative and effective therapies.

Up to $1,000

Date to submit all materials: TBD

Awardee will be notified by phone on or before: TBD

You must be either a:

• resident
• graduate or medical student
• fellow
• postdoctoral associate
  
• assistant professor

You may hold an MD, PhD or both, with your most recent degree awarded no more than 10 years ago.

The Mindell/Brody Award is intended to develop the potential of outstanding new scientists and promote promising ideas for novel therapeutic interventions through translational research at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. Therefore, individuals already established in the field are not eligible for this award.

You will need to prepare a single PDF including these materials:

• cover page: title of proposal; primary author/UB title; if student or trainee include name of primary mentor; department/institution
• page 2: an abstract, written in lay terms and no longer than 150 words (the acknowledgment of others involved with the project may be included on the poster if accepted for presentation)
  
• pages 3-4: a research summary, including a strong personal statement, which summarizes your problem, methods, results and conclusions in one to two pages; reference list is not included in the page limit          
  
• page 5: a description of your project’s relevance to clinical translational research, no longer than one page

For all supporting documentation, use Times New Roman font in 12-point type with single line spacing and one-inch margins.

A committee of medical school research faculty evaluates applications on your proposal’s merit and translational aspects, grammar and style.
