Introducing the AFMR Endowment Fund

AFMR is launching an Endowment Fund to support the organization’s mission of developing and mentoring tomorrow's leaders in medical research.

Every year, AFMR regional and nationally co-sponsored meetings provide young investigators with the opportunity to submit work in competition. Many awardees go on to highly successful careers in medical research.

The Endowment Fund will allow the society to grow its program of honoring early career researchers by expanding these important honors:

National

• Outstanding Investigator Award — recognizing excellence in biomedical research.
• Junior Physician-Investigator Award — recognizing projects complementing an overall program of research, teaching & clinical medicine.

Regional

• Henry Christian Award (named after AFMR's founder) — recognizing the outstanding abstracts submitted at each AFMR regional meetings.

There are two ways to support the Endowment Fund.

• Make a general donation.
  
  
• Contribute in honor of a mentor who has impacted your career.
  • Honored Mentors will be listed on a dedicated webpage, which will not only acknowledge your donation, but also offer a short blurb describing the mentor's impact on your career.
  • Trainees can honor a mentor, who will receive an acknowledgement of the honor.
  • Make the gift anonymously and/or send an acknowledgement.
