Type I Walter-Hitzig Award
Type I fellowships provide funding for a short research project during the first two or three years of residency. These are flexible funds designed to cover the salary for a short rotation (3-6 months) in a CCI laboratory to be used to focus the research orientation, or learn specific techniques in an external laboratory or in preparation of a Type II Walter-Hitzig Award. Exceptional basic research scientists interested in pursuing a career in immunodeficiency can also apply for type I support to visit summer schools and other laboratories working in the field of immunodeficiency to learn a specific technique. Applications for these fellowships can be made at any time.
The requirements for acceptance for type I support are:
