gift from Mr. Thomas B. McCabe to the School of
Medicine to support junior faculty who initiate
fresh and innovative biomedical and surgical research
projects and who have received no or limited external
research funding while in their first through fourth
years at the School of Medicine or the School of
Veterinary Medicine at Penn.
