The Department of Pediatrics is now seeking applications for the Dixon Fellowship Training Program for the 2023 academic year. The Dixon Foundation endows this Pediatric fellowship training program to prepare, train, and support fellows who intend to pursue an academic career with research emphasis in approved Pediatric subspecialties. Proposals can range from basic and translational science to education or QI-centric research. As part of this prestigious award, recipients benefit from salary support and an additional $5,000 per year discretionary funds to support research and continuing education activities.
Candidates are selected on a competitive basis, and selection is made upon a Review Committee’s analysis of the written application. For the academic year starting in July 2023, we will select three candidates who will be starting their second or third year of training. The initial award is for a period of one year with continued support contingent upon annual review of the fellow’s progress.
Please see attached memos for more details. Should you have any questions, please direct those to me or Dr. Michele Kong. Applications should be emailed to rschandler@uabmc.edu, or delivered to Ronda Chandler, 3rd Floor West McWane Building, no later than March 31. We would like to announce the new Dixon Fellows by the beginning of May.
