Program Overview:
Provides early-career physician-scientists with one year of protected funding, dedicated time, and structured mentorship to advance their work at a pivotal career stage. Each fellow receives a $75,000 investment in protected research funding and time.
Background:
Addresses the critical shortage of physician-scientists in the US (only ~1.5% of physicians; declining share). Early-career physicians often leave research between fellowship and independent funding when traditional support mechanisms come too late. FAF aims to bridge funding and talent gaps to accelerate solutions for the 33 million Americans living with food allergies.
