The Stanford Medicine Children's Health Center for IBD and Celiac Disease is dedicated to funding research and supporting postdoctoral fellows and instructors in their early careers, focusing on innovative studies in pediatric IBD and celiac disease. The center emphasizes the motivation and training of the next generation of researchers in these areas, positioning them for successful future extramural career development or independent funding.
The Stanford Medicine Children's Health Center for IBD and Celiac Disease Postdoc and Early Career Support Research Program primarily funds innovative mentored research in pediatric IBD and celiac disease. This program has two main goals: to motivate and train the next generation of pediatric IBD and celiac disease researchers, and to position awardees to be successful applicants for future funding. Eligible research areas include basic, translational, clinical research, epidemiology/statistics, informatics, health services, or health policy, focusing on maternal and child health. The grant provides salary support, including fringe benefits, for postdoctoral fellows ($90,000/year, up to 2 years) and instructors ($100,000/year, up to 2 years), covering a specific project related to maternal and/or child health in pediatric IBD and celiac disease research.
