Each project needs to be under the guidance of a mentor. Those eligible to apply include: Physicians who are in a residency/fellowship training program, or who completed that program no more than one year before the date of submission of the Concept Paper; Post-doctoral researchers who received the doctoral level degree no more than three years prior to the date of submission of the Concept Paper.

The completed proposal can be found on the sponor's website, and should be returned as a Word document in an e-mail attachment to Allison Martinez at MartinezAF@ThrasherResearch.org with the words "Early Career Award Proposal" in the subject line.
