Apply for the Dr. Allen and Charlotte Ginsburg Fellowship Training Program in Genomic Medicine

The UCLA Institute for Precision Health (IPH) announces the Annual Ginsburg Fellowship in Precision Genomic Medicine, which is aimed at supporting an outstanding trainee in any clinical discipline (MD or MD-PhD) for training in translational genetics or genomics. Recognizing that the transition to research faculty is challenging, we are providing this one-year award to recognize and support promising early-stage investigators during the often-difficult transition from clinical trainee to independent faculty member.

Applicants should hold an MD or MD-PhD and be interested in training opportunities in genetics and translational genomics broadly. One fellow will be selected for the 2025-2026 cycle. Applications are due Sunday, April 27.

The application consists of:

• Application Form
• Demographic Form
• 2-page research plan
• 1-page career development plan
• 3 letters of recommendation (one from mentor, one from residency/fellowship director, and one from division chief or department chair).
• Letter of support should outline protected time for research and any current or future department/division support for transition to faculty
• Diversity statement

Applicants and mentors must submit an NIH-style Biosketch and ‘Other Support’ page(s).

For a complete listing of eligibility requirements and terms of participation, please review the Fellowship Guidelines.
