Improving Human Life by Advancing the Field of Transplantation
Fellowship Grants
The goals of the AST Fellowship Grants are:
- To foster training of new young investigators who have the potential to contribute to our understanding of transplant science/immunobiology and/or treatment of transplant recipients.
- To foster research that is of high merit.
- To encourage high quality applicants who want to develop a career in academic transplantation. The AST Fellowship Grants are 2 year grants of $40,000/year, designed to provide salary support for individuals who have spent two years or less (at the time of the application) performing research in the area of transplantation since obtaining their last post-doctoral degree (PhD, MD or equivalent). See Eligibility Requirements for more detailed information.
The AST Fellowship Grant applications are submitted in one of two primary categories.
Basic Science Fellowship Grant
The 2013 AST Grants Program is now closed.
The funding of any grant and total number of grants awarded by the AST is dependent on budgetary constraints in a given year.
The AST Basic Science Fellowship Grants are intended to support work in transplantation biology ranging broadly from pertinent basic immunology to animal studies. All types of organ, tissue, and cell transplants will be considered. The project should provide a strong training vehicle for the applicant, in keeping with the overall mission of the AST Fellowship Grants.
Clinical Science Fellowship Grant
The 2013 AST Grants Program is now closed.
The funding of any grant and total number of grants awarded by the AST is dependent on budgetary constraints in a given year.
The AST Clinical Science Fellowship Grants are intended to support work in transplantation biology ranging broadly from pertinent basic immunology to animal studies. All types of organ, tissue, and cell transplants will be considered. The project should provide a strong training vehicle for the applicant, in keeping with the overall mission of the AST Fellowship Grants.
