Types of Awards

Collaborative Research Support Award
The overall goals of this program are to strengthen and expand the basic, clinical and/or translational research expertise of the awardee, enhance the applicant’s career development and foster sustained collaborative research endeavors.

Sabbatical Research Support Award
This program is designed to strengthen the basic, clinical and/or translational research expertise of the awardee. This award differs from the Collaborative Research Support Award by requiring that the awardee document how the award will provide diminished teaching and administrative responsibility during the award.

General Research Support Award
The overall goal of this program is to provide funding for obtaining preliminary data that would allow the young investigator to define research objectives that would enable him or her to receive funding from a major funding source. This award type differs from the Collaborative and the Sabbatical awards in that the recipient does not need to collaborate with another institution or take a sabbatical from their home institution. The recipient must demonstrate how the initial research will generate future funding. The recipient must also demonstrate how this award will further his or her career in the bone and mineral field.

Details relative to the award programs and application process are available via the Program Announcement and Application Form.

The ASBMR Career Enhancement Awards are offered on a competitive basis to any ASBMR member, regardless of geographical location, employed as full-time faculty at the Assistant Professor (or equivalent) level. The applicant must be a member of the ASBMR at the time of the application and the award.
