American Medical Association Seed Research Program

TCOM: Applicants must be a medical student, physician resident or fellow of an accredited US medical school/institution; they must also be either a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident. Projects must be applicant-conceived, rather than ongoing research of their mentor or Principal Investigator. The program provides $2500 grants to support small basic science, applied, or clinical research projects. **In 2015 the AMA Foundation will be awarding research grants of up to $2,500 in the areas of cardiovascular/pulmonary diseases and pancreatic cancer and $5,000 in the area of neoplastic diseases.
