Benefactor-Funded Research Mid-Career Development Awards

Mayo Clinic's Benefactor-Funded Research Mid-Career Development Awards support faculty members who have already established themselves in their careers and are seeking to further advance their research pursuits. This competitive award mechanism is available to individuals at all Mayo Clinic campuses, with restrictions for some awards. Learn about eligibility and the application process.

Funding is for 1 to 3 years as noted for each award, with the goal of transitioning the recipient to independent extramural funding. The funding amount noted for each award is the total for each year, including a 30% indirect rate.

These awards aim to assist mid-career researchers in obtaining grant funding for their research projects and foster their transitions toward independence.

Each year, opportunities are available in several specialty areas. These awards are made possible through benefactor gifts. The specific career development awards available for the coming year are determined by the Department of Development in the fall. Review a list of current awards.
