The Norman E. Zinberg Fellowship was established to honor Dr. Norman Zinberg, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and to provide support to carry on the spirit and substance of his teaching and research.

The Zinberg Fellowship was endowed specifically to support training in research on alcohol and drug use disorders. Theoretical or applied research projects that include a social-psychological, public policy, or psychotherapeutic dimension or component will be given priority. The Zinberg Fellowship is available through the Research Committee of the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and will provide a fellowship stipend for one year. It is anticipated that one fellowship will be awarded annually.

Duration: 1 year. Effective July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011. Amount: $60,617. Funds may be used for salary support or for support plus expenses directly associated with the proposed research.
Foundation Deadline: January 8, 2010 at 2:00pm
Eligibility
Requirements:

MD, MD/PhD, PhD

Applicants must meet the following criteria:

  1. Applicants need to commit to at least half-time effort (50% of full-time position) on the funded project
  2. MD degree (at PGY-4 level or higher) and/or PhD degree in the Department of Psychiatry at time of application
  3. No more than three years have passed since the end of training
  4. Cannot hold a faculty appointment of Assistant Professor or higher during fellowship period

Review of applications will focus both on the strength of the proposed research project, quality and extent of mentoring, and the candidate’s potential to develop into a clinician-scientist. Applications from those who will complete the ACGME Partners Addiction Psychiatry fellowship and who wish to pursue a second fellowship year conducting research in addiction psychiatry are strongly encouraged.

Since this award will not pay any fringe benefit expenses (or indirect costs), the sponsoring institution must assume responsibility for those expenses.
