McCabe to the Perelman 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 three years on the faculty at the Perelman School of Medicine or the School of Veterinary Medicine at Penn. Guidelines and instructions are also available to determine eligibility.
