Background: The Sun Valley Workshops have a 30 year tradition and originally grew out of an attempt to provide multidisciplinary training to younger scientists. The Workshops continue to emphasize active participation of junior faculty and students. The Workshops have been successful in promoting interdisciplinary communication and are unusual in that discussion time equals or exceeds time allotted for formal presentation. The goals of the Workshop are to (1) work toward a multidisciplinary basic and clinical synthesis of molecular, tissue and biomechanical processes related to the pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of bone disease; (2) develop a dialogue between basic and clinical investigators; and (3) provide a forum for student training and the opportunity for junior faculty and students to talk with more senior scientists in a small group setting.
Award: There will be up to 10 young investigator awards for $800 each. (The total number is dependant on our obtaining NIH funding).
Eligibility: Professional status of nominees should be at a level of student, postdoctoral fellow or resident up to and including the Assistant Professor level.
