The AMA Foundation recently awarded grants to 38 medical students, residents and fellows as part of its Seed Grant Research Program, which provides grants of up to $2,500 to conduct small basic science and clinical research projects. This year’s recipients are studying cardiovascular/pulmonary diseases, HIV/AIDS, leukemia and neoplastic diseases. The program was established in 2000 to encourage more physicians to consider research as a career option. Many recipients go on to publish their work, present at scientific meetings, enter academic medicine or secure larger grants.

"Research dollars are becoming scarce, and for younger scientists new to the field, they’re even harder to find," AMA Foundation President Richard Hovland said. "The AMA Foundation is committed to supporting the discoveries and professional development of physicians at the start of their careers."
