I am not a faculty member now but I will be by the deadline. Can I apply for a research award?

No. You must be faculty at the time of submission however you may consider applying for a fellowship award.

What is the difference between FWW’s research and fellowship awards?

Research awards ($25,000) go to the medical institution at which the research is being conducted for the sole purpose of funding the study submitted to FWW. Fellowship awards ($5,000) go directly to the individual and may be used at the awardee’s discretion.

What is the amount of your research awards? If I am awarded one, what are the reporting requirements?

Research awards are $25,000. We do not have formal reporting requirements for recipients however we ask that you email our executive director with any publications, presentations or the like upon study completion.

When and how will I know if I received an award?

By the end of the calendar year (usually November) we email all applicants. Awardees will be contacted by phone. Award checks are issued no later than December 31.

Do I need to submit a budget with my application?

No, we do not require an itemized budget. If selected, we will ask you to confirm that FWW requirements are met and that the award check will be used to fund the research study submitted in the application.
