Fund for Medical Discovery (FMD) Research Fellowship Awards
What are they?
The FMD Awards are intended to support the salary of junior investigators (MD and PhD Research fellows, Clinical Research Fellows, Instructors), during a one-year period at MGH, who are in the training phase of their research. We recognize that research at MGH integrates the full translational spectrum of discovery from "bench to bedside to community and population.” To ensure that all areas of research conducted at MGH are included and eligible for FMD fellowship awards, ECOR is offering 3 types of training awards: fundamental research fellowships, clinical research fellowships, and population health care sciences fellowships.
These fellowships are for MD and PhD Research Fellows and Clinical Research Fellows who are in the training phase of their research at MGH. Instructors who are within 5 years total since initiating their research fellowship training are only eligible to apply for the clinical and population health care sciences fellowships.
How much is each award?
The award will include a stipend of $67,781 plus applicable fringe benefits and 20% indirect costs.

NIMH Instrumentation Program
The NIMH Instrumentation Program (S10) encourages applications from NIH funded investigators that conduct mental health-related research to purchase or upgrade a single commercially available instrument or a group of components to create an instrument that is not commercially available. There is no maximum limit on the cost of the instrument, though the amount awarded by the NIH will be between $200,000 and $600,000. Examples of instruments that might be submitted under this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) include light microscopes, electron microscopes, spectrophotometers, and biomedical imagers.
The MGH Executive Committee on Research (ECOR) will commit funding to provide institutional support for NIMH S10 proposals. ECOR has made this commitment because it recognizes that institutional support greatly increases the likelihood that a S10 will be funded.
If you are interested in applying for this grant, please fill out this NIMH S10 application and confirmation of endorsement form and return it to ecor@mgh.harvard.edu by Wednesday, September 6, 2023. We encourage applicants to continue working on their NIH application while ECOR reviews your internal LOI. The LOI will be used to determine the level of institutional support to allocate to this funding opportunity, though we will reach out to you if there are any questions. Applicants will receive a letter of institutional support required to submit the application to NIH.
The NIH deadline for applications is October 10, 2023, so we would greatly appreciate your notification of interest as soon as possible.
If you have questions, please contact MGH ECOR at ecor@mgh.harvard.edu or call 617-726-2335.

Guidance on the use of artificial intelligence/large language models such as ChatGPT
Publicly available generative artificial intelligence/large language models (AI/LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Bing Chat, and Bard are designed to understand and generate human-like text responses in a conversational manner. LLMs have many promising applications in healthcare, from improving healthcare delivery efficiency to accelerating research. However, as a healthcare organization we must ensure the privacy and security of protected health information (PHI) and ensure safe and effective use of these technologies.
