Manuel Lipson, assistant clinical professor of medicine at HMS and MGH, will receive a Distinguished Public Service Award from the American Academy of Physical Medicine on November 6. Her research focuses on pediatric hematology. The grant will create fellowships that allow students to work in a variety of research laboratories, giving them the opportunity to explore diverse scientific fields before choosing their own field of interest. Six fellowships will be awarded to outstanding teachers and scholars who wish to develop their competence to teach and write about ethical issues in business, education, government, law, medicine, public policy, and social science. Fellows participate in a weekly seminar, attend courses in Harvard graduate and professional schools, and conduct their own research on ethics.
Applicants usually hold a postgraduate degree.
The deadline for applications is December 17, 1998. The award, one of 17 nationwide, will support the development of a comprehensive model system of care for patients with traumatic brain injury, funding six research projects and four demonstration projects. As the new associate dean for research, Susanne Churchill will develop new, comprehensive research initiatives.
