The McCabe Awards were established in 1969 by a gift from 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 four years at the School of Medicine or the School of Veterinary Medicine.
