2006 Inaugural Class of Hartwell Fellows
Memphis, TN, December 29 - The Hartwell
Foundation announced its 2006 inaugural class of
Hartwell Fellows, which provide funding to US
citizens for postdoctoral training in biomedical science
at select research institutions in the United States.
The Fellowships offer support for two years at $50,000
direct cost per year to support scientists in the early
stages of biomedical research careers by enabling them
to pursue further specialized training as part of their
career development.
Institutions that fully participated in the 2006 process
for
Hartwell Individual Biomedical Research Awards
received the right to designate a Hartwell Fellowship
award, effective January 2007. As a result of a change
in the postdoctoral status of a Fellow, the sponsoring institution may
redesignate the Fellowship within Hartwell guidelines, with no adjustment in funding provided by the
Foundation. In 2006, qualifying institutions designated
the following individuals to receive Fellowship support
from The Hartwell Foundation:
Nancie Jo MacIver, MD, Ph.D., School of Medicine,
Department of Pediatrics
Samantha Cicero, Ph.D., Department of
Developmental Neurobiology
