Request for Proposals: Young Investigator Awards
In 2011, the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health launched a program supporting young investigators to study ways to improve systems of care for children with special health care needs. The program is being directed by David Bergman, MD, at Stanford University School of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics. Dr. Bergman will lead a statewide advisory committee to select three young investigators from pediatric training programs in California. Award recipients will receive one-year grants of up to $15,000 to help support their research.
