An honorary society of pediatric resident physicians in training who are admitted upon internal application submission and review by Steering Committee; these admitted trainees would be known as Donnell Scholars
A transition research mentor (TRM) who is matched with each Scholar at the start of the program
A scholarship oversight committee (SOC) will be developed for each Scholar, in consultation with the Scholar, TRM and primary research mentor
Regular meetings of Scholars to build community, support projects, network and learn about new tools and opportunities
Enhanced support for clinical data use projects including software and hardware needs
Scholars will be given a travel and education allowance to be used for attending meetings and conferences, or for the purchase of educational materials
Support candidates bridge into fellowship, hopefully at CHLA. For instance, we can explore masters level training followed by a bridge to T32 and/or physician scientists' program.
