Awards, Fellowships and Grants

The New York Academy of Medicine offers a variety of grants and fellowships to medical students, seasoned physicians and investigators to support the advancement of health care studies.

Thanks to the generosity of the donors who established named funds to support research and learning in a wide range of fields, NYAM's awards, lectureships, research fellowships, and student grants exist in perpetuity to honor the accomplishments, tenacity, and promise that the honorees exemplify. We are honored to be in a position to support their work.

The Glorney-Raisbeck Fellowships in Cardiovascular Diseases
Research Fellowship
The Glorney-Raisbeck Fellowships in Cardiovascular Diseases are one-year, $60,000 grants awarded for research by young physician scientists in supervised programs that will develop the candidates' ability to perform independent clinical or laboratory research. Up to three Fellowships will be awarded.
The Glorney-Raisbeck Medical Student Grants in Cardiovascular Research
Student Grant
Up to four $4,000 grants, consisting of a $3,500 student stipend plus $500 in support of the laboratory or department at which the student will conduct research, will be awarded to MD candidates who are either enrolled in a New York-area medical school or plan to conduct research at a New York-area institution. The grants typically support 10-12 week mentored cardiovascular research projects initiated during the summer between the first and second years of medical school, but medical school students in any year of their education may apply. Students are encouraged to pursue research projects that extend beyond this startup period.

Jean Bolognia Delivers the 2013 Howard Fox Memorial Lecture

Jean L. Bolognia, MD, Professor of Dermatology, Vice Chair of Clinical Affairs, and Director of the Pigmented Lesion Clinic at Yale University School of Medicine, delivered the 2013 Howard Fox Memorial Lecture on April 26, 2013 at NYAM. The subject of her lecture, which was sponsored by the NYAM Section on Dermatology, was Signature Nevi. Patients who have an increased number of moles tend to be consistent in the type of mole they produce, and the repetitive type for a given patient is that patient’s signature nevus. Patients with numerous melanocytic nevi, i.e., those who are moley, often produce a particular type of nevus, a so-called signature nevus.
