These awards are intended primarily for faculty in the medical and biological life sciences. Each fellowship award is worth $7,500.Faculty Research Fellows, along with Faculty Affiliates of the Clayman Institute, participate in a regularly scheduled interdisciplinary lunch at Serra House. Fellows report on their own research, discuss the work of others, hear invited speakers, and also have an opportunity to suggest a speaker.
