1. A Tartar Trust Fellowship should be applied for
in the name of the person who is going to receive the Fellowship.
The $2,000.00 award is for a one-year duration. This award may be
distributed in the form of a personal check to the individual or
it may be placed in a new Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA)
account. If the award is distributed in the form of a check to the
individual, it constitutes income and must be declared as income
for tax purposes.
2. The application for a Tartar Trust Fellowship consists
of a cover sheet (obtain from the department office) and a statement
no longer than two pages including the following:
a) A brief outline of what you propose to do with the money; e.g.,
use it to support yourself for a summer project, use it to obtain
special training in a different laboratory, etc.
b) A statement describing the project which the funds will support,
including rationale, methodology, and significance.
3. A non-exclusive list of purposes for which fellowships
might be awarded includes:
a) Assist qualified graduate students in their research programs.
b) Provide released time for a graduate Teaching Assistant for purposes
of advancing the individual’s degree research.
c) Support specially endowed medical students to engage in research
during the summer or a term of the academic year.
d) Extend appointments of qualified postdoctoral investigators.
e) Provide released time or summary salary for a faculty member.
f) Provide young members with a brief period of special research
training as quests at other institutions.
g) Provide support for an individual to perform research on an urgent
short-term problem relating to human diseases.
4. The Research Committee at OHSU will review the
applications and make recommendations to the Award Committee. The
Tartar Trust is administered by the Medical Research Foundation
at Oregon Health Sciences Foundation. Criteria for selection will
include:
(a) quality of the project proposed,
(b) clarity of the application,
(c) need of the applicant, and
(d) strength of the research environment in which the work will
be done.
Having been awarded a Tartar Fellowship in the past
will not preclude being considered again. Given two applications
of equal merit, preference would be given to an individual who had
not held a prior award.
5. The Research Committee will evaluate the applications
during the weeks following the noon, February 18. 2003, deadline.
As soon as the amount of money that can be awarded for fellowship
stipends is known, awardees will be notified and checks will be
mailed to them. This year we plan to have notification mailed by
May 1. The exact date checks will be mailed is not yet certain.
6. Applications should be sent to: Sandra Kollenburn
