Applications are open for Galvanizing Engineering in Medicine awards

 The Galvanizing Engineering in Medicine (GEM) initiative is now accepting applications for the Gemini and Gemstones awards. GEM is a collaboration between the Altman Clinical and Translational Research Institute, and the Institute of Engineering in Medicine, supporting projects that identify clinical challenges for which engineering solutions can be developed and implemented to improve health care.

 The Gemini Fellowship Program provides one pre-doctoral or post-doctoral researcher working at the interface of engineering and health sciences with an award of $15,000 for one year of stipend support.

The Gemini Faculty Mentor Award is given to one early career faculty or research series mentor a year, who has demonstrated a commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion in research training at the interfaces of engineering and biomedical sciences. The $15,000 award is meant to support the interdisciplinary research, research training mentoring and outreach activities of these early career researchers.

The Gemstones Community Engagement Research Award supports community engagement research, mentoring and outreach activities of faculty co-investigators teamed with undergraduate or graduate students. Three awards of up to $10,000 each are given each year.

 Applications for all three awards are now open. The deadline for applications is May 1. More details and application instructions included at the link for each award.
