Dr. Erika Ebbel Angle Community Service Award Application
Applications for the Dr. Erika Ebbel Angle Community Service Award are now being accepted. The award will fund biomedical graduate students and/or postdoctoral researchers to develop or expand a project dedicated to service in the STEM field. This award is made possible by a generous gift from Dr. Ebbel Angle (a Ph.D. alumna from BUSM) and her husband, Colin Angle. The award recognizes Dr. Angle’s efforts in developing Science from Scientists whose stated mission is “to teach and inspire the next generation to identify and solve real-world problems by improving STEM literacy”. Scientific community outreach activities could include interactions with educators, community leaders, non-profit organizations or foundations. Think broadly and consider STEM education, health care technology, health care delivery or other impactful mechanisms of service.
Application Process:
1st Round: Candidates should submit an abstract (approximately 300 words) along with a C.V. or resume. The abstract should describe the rationale, methods, benefits and anticipated outcomes of the project. The methods should include, but by no means be limited to who the project will serve, how it will be implemented, whether this is a new project or existing project, as well as collaborators on the project. Submissions should describe appropriate methodologies and consider the necessary safety measures given the current global COVID-19 pandemic. The abstract and C.V./resume is due by Jan. 25, 2021 at 5:00 pm.
2nd Round: Finalists will be selected and notified by Feb. 8, 2021. Finalists will need to provide additional information. This will include a letter of support from the trainee’s primary mentor and, if applicable, from collaborators. A budget and a timeline defining goals/milestones will be required. Note that the limit for this initiative is $5,000, so more than one project can be supported as funds allow. Trainees will be required to present progress of their work.
