Amgen Fellowship Training Award / Paula de Merieux Fellowship Training Award

Funding Agency:
Rheumatology Research Foundation

The purpose of this award is to help ensure an adequate supply of (a) rheumatology providers meeting the needs of children and adults with rheumatic diseases in all areas of the country and (b) rheumatology educators and investigators to train future clinicians and advance research in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases. The Amgen Fellowship Training Award may be used to support the salary of any fellow in an ACGME-accredited rheumatology fellowship training program.

Annually, one Paula de Merieux grant is awarded to support a trainee who belongs to an underrepresented minority within rheumatology, or is a woman. For the purposes of this program, “underrepresented minority within rheumatology” shall mean Black, Hispanic, or Native American.

In addition, one recipient will be supported annually by the Audrey M. Nelson, MD Pediatric Rheumatology Fellowship Endowment in Training.

Only one application submission is required to be considered for the Fellowship Training Award, Paula de Merieux Award and the Audrey M. Nelson Award funding.
Note: Programs that would utilize these grant funds to fill a previously unfilled fellowship slot should consider applying for the Fellowship Training Award- Workforce Expansion.

Multiple applications from a single institution will not be permitted unless they are for separate training programs (e.g., adult and pediatric rheumatology). Interested applicants from within Duke should contact fundopps@duke.edu as early as possible.

Deadline: May 2, 2022
