McCabe Fund Awards Call for Applications

The McCabe Fund Advisory Committee is calling for applications from junior faculty in the School of Medicine for the Thomas B. and Jeannette E. Laws McCabe Fund Fellow and Pilot Awards for 2003-2004.

Junior faculty members who are interested in applying for an award this year, should contact the chair of their department or call Dana J. Napier, School of Medicine Administration, at (215) 573-3221. The deadline for submission is May 19, 2003. The McCabe Fund Advisory Committee will announce the winners at its annual June meeting.

Last year, Dr. Amy Decatur, Department of Microbiology, Dr. David Glaser, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Dr. Michael Olson, Department of Cancer Biology, and Dr. Y. Joseph Woo, Department of Surgery each won the McCabe Fellow Award.

Winners of the McCabe Pilot Project Awards were: Dr. Christos Ballas, Department of Psychiatry, Dr. Avinash Bhandoola, Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, Dr. Susan Domchek, Department of Medicine, Dr. Edward Gerstenfeld, Department of Medicine, Dr. Kevin Mange, Department of Medicine, Dr. John Pryor, Department of Surgery, Dr. Albert Telfeian, Department of Neurosurgery, and Dr. David Tuveson, Department of Medicine.

The McCabe awards were established in 1969 by a generous gift from Mr. Thomas B. McCabe to the School of Medicine to support junior faculty who initiate fresh and innovative biomedical and surgical research projects and who have received no or limited external research funding while in their first through fourth years at the School of Medicine or the School of Veterinary Medicine at Penn.
