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.

NYAM is currently accepting submissions for the Klemperer and Helfand Fellowships for the 2012-2013 application cycles. To inquire about the Klemperer and Helfand Fellowships, please contact Ms. Arlene Shaner at (212) 822-7313. You can also inquire by email via history@nyam.org.


  • 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.
