Navigating careers in science and medicine can be quite challenging for undergraduate, medical, and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, medical fellows, junior faculty, and early career investigators. The Endocrine Society places high priority on helping early career members reach their career goals by offering research fellowships recognizing the early achievements of future endocrinologists.
Programs and Awards for Fellows
- Fellows Training Series is a comprehensive program designed to support program directors and prepare the next generation of endocrinologists. Gain access to the premier self-assessment tool in the field, the In-Training Exam (ITE), in addition to procedural assessment tools and topical modules.
- Excellence in Clinical Endocrinology Leadership (ExCEL) program offers comprehensive leadership training and mentorship to early career physicians.
- Research Experiences for Graduate and Medical Students (REGMS) is designed for medical and graduate students who have demonstrated commitment to endocrine research and expressed interest in enhancing their professional development skills. REGMS includes a comprehensive series of activities that span beyond the summer and include involvement in a variety of engaging programs for early career scientists.
- Kaiser-Goldberg Research Fellowship is designed to support students interested in neuroendocrine and/or reproductive endocrine research. The program funds a 10–12 week summer program for one selected student annually to work in an Endocrine Society member's lab.
Programs and Awards for Postdocs
- Early Investigator Awards provide monetary support to assist in the development of early career investigators and recognition of their accomplishments in areas of general endocrinology.
- Future Leaders Advancing Research in Endocrinology (FLARE) program provides structured leadership development to basic science and clinical research trainees, and junior faculty who have demonstrated achievement in endocrine research.
- Early Career Forum provides a unique opportunity to connect with today’s leading endocrine professionals. Attendees gain tools and perspectives needed to successfully navigate career options as physicians and scientists.
- Outstanding Abstract Awards are awarded for abstracts submitted by in-training post-doctoral fellows, new faculty, or graduate students. Preference is given to Endocrine Society members.
