Eligibility Criteria
Examples of successful past applications
The Pfizer-CGH Research Award in Infectious Disease was established to encourage emerging student investigators in developing innovative, hypothesis-driven research which examine infectious diseases in developing areas around the world. Successful research planning incorporates the expertise of faculty, the research and health foci of relevant institutions as well as the academic and career interests of the investigator.
The Pfizer-CGH Research Award in Infectious Disease is open to UVa Medical School students, residents and UVa undergrad and graduate students from disciplines across grounds. Most medical students conduct their project as follows:
between their 1st and 2nd year
between their 3rd and 4th year under "special student status"
during their 4th year as an extended elective
