2013 FARE Program and Award Ceremony
The Fellows Award for Research Excellence (FARE) Program is in its 18th year of
providing recognition for the outstanding scientific research performed by intramural
fellows who have less than five years of research experience at NIH. Sponsored by
the Felcom, the NIH Scientific Directors and the OITE, this annual competition selects
the top 25 percent of abstracts from 53 different study sections to receive a $1,000 travel
award. Winners use the travel award to present their research at a scientific meeting
during the subsequent fiscal year.
The FARE competition attracted more than 1,000 applicants, representing nearly a third
of all eligible graduate students, postdocs and clinical fellows throughout the institutes
and centers of the NIH. All submitted abstracts underwent anonymous peer-review and
were scored by a panel of judges from the applicant’s chosen study section. This year
224 winners were selected to receive travel awards. FARE competition winners will
present posters (marked by a blue ribbon) on their research during the NIH Research
Festival. The FARE Subcommittee of FelCom thanks all participants and congratulates
the winners of FARE 2013.
We encourage all eligible intramural postdoctoral and clinical fellows to apply to the
next FARE competition in Spring 2013.
