Scholarship Benefits
Program Overview
- 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
- Protected research time within the designated IMPACT Program Research Track
- 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.
