Awards |
18th Annual Aventis Pharma Hypertension Research Clinical Fellowship Program Award
The purpose of this program and research award is to stimulate physicians-in-training to pursue a career in clinical research in hypertension. The research fellow must be conducting work in which he or she is the major senior investigator in any area of the researcher’s choice, including clinical or laboratory aspects of the hypertensive diseases. The fellow’s work would be supervised by the director of the research training program (the mentor), but the conduct of the investigation is primarily by the research fellow. The winning presentation receives $3,000, and the fellow’s mentor receives $25,000 to support the clinical investigative training of a research fellow the following year.
