Funding Opportunities
Molina Travel Award
The Molina Travel Award was established through an agreement with Dr. Mario Molina and the American Osler Society in 2023 to support the travel of medical students to present their work at the yearly meetings of the American Osler Society. The award encourages eligible medical students to carry on research utilizing collections of American and Canadian institutions and various other historical collections by providing funds to support their travel to present their research findings. The amount of the award depends on the number of qualified students and has varied between US $500 - $750. Students are enrolled in medical schools in the United States, Canada, and internationally. Students do not need to apply for the Award - application is automatic when a student submits an abstract for the annual meeting. Awardees are chosen by the Program Committee of the American Osler Society based upon the numerical score given to student abstracts following evaluation by all reviewers. Reviewers are prevented from judging abstracts submitted by students at the reviewers' institutions.
The Bernadett Family International Medical Student Scholarship Program
Established in 2024, The Bernadett Family International Medical Student Scholarship Award supports medical student research in the medical humanities. The award allows two medical students matriculated in an accredited allopathic or osteopathic medical school in the United States and Canada to carry out research using the rich and varied collections of the medical humanities in institutions in the United Kingdom, including rare books, archives and artifacts as well as other resources available in private and public collections in these locations. Since medical humanities is an interdisciplinary field of medicine, proposals addressing the history of medicine, application of the arts including literature, visual arts, theater, film, and music, and the disciplines of philosophy, medical anthropology, and medical sociology to medical education and practice will be considered. Awards totaling up to $12,000 (US) are divided each year between two medical students, whose individual awards will depend upon the need given for extra funds for special considerations. Funds are paid as reimbursement for travel, travel-related expenses, and accommodation for a 4-week period of research in the United Kingdom. Recipients are required to develop and submit a manuscript for publication to a peer reviewed journal concerning the research carried out during their award. Recipients are also required to submit a report of their work suitable for publication in the Oslerian, the Newsletter of the American Osler Society and to submit an abstract for the American Osler Society Annual Meeting for the year following the award and research.
