2006 Inaugural Class of Hartwell Fellows
Memphis, TN, December 29 - The Hartwell Foundation announced its 2006 inaugural class of Hartwell Fellows, which provide funding to US citizens for postdoctoral training in biomedical science at select research institutions in the United States. The Fellowships offer support for two years at $50,000 direct cost per year to support scientists in the early stages of biomedical research careers by enabling them to pursue further specialized training as part of their career development.
Institutions that fully participated in the 2006 process for Hartwell Individual Biomedical Research Awards received the right to designate a Hartwell Fellowship award, effective January 2007. As a result of a change in the postdoctoral status of a Fellow, the sponsoring institution may redesignate the Fellowship within Hartwell guidelines, with no adjustment in funding provided by the Foundation. In 2006, qualifying institutions designated the following individuals to receive Fellowship support from The Hartwell Foundation:
