We provide 125% of the current NIH salary for your year as a postdoc and cover your institution’s fringe rate. This amount is adjusted for the second year of the fellowship. We offer an additional $10,000 in operational support and $3,500 for travel and conferences, per year.

The payment schedule is outlined in the acceptance letter and grant agreement in your welcome packet. Your award will be forwarded to you each year by your institution.

No.

The fellowship provides two years of funding.

As a first-year fellow, you are responsible for submitting a progress report outlining your first year of research. Please consult your welcome packet for your individual report deadline. Your second year of funding is contingent upon receipt and approval of this report. You are expected to attend the Charles H. Revson Biomedical Fellows Meeting and Dinner in New York City and to present a poster displaying your research.

The progress report includes a breakout of the stipend payment between compensation and fringe benefits and a complete, itemized list of expenditures, which needs to come directly from the department at your institution responsible for administering grant funds; and a report summarizing your work to date. The format of this report is up to you. We do not have a minimum or maximum page limit, but past submissions have generally been between 5-10 pages. The majority of the report (70-80%) should focus on what you have already accomplished, and the rest can be devoted to future plans. If the scope of the aims of your project has changed, please also include a brief explanation as to why this transition occurred. Please consult your individual welcome packet for deadlines, as these dates vary from year to year.

As a second-year fellow, you are responsible for submitting a final report outlining your research upon completion of the fellowship period. You are expected to attend the Charles H. Revson Biomedical Fellows Meeting and Dinner in New York City and to give a presentation of your research.

The final report includes a breakout of the stipend payment between compensation and fringe benefits and a complete, itemized list of expenditures, which needs to come directly from the department at your institution responsible for administering grant funds; and a complete report of your work over the course of the fellowship and your progress in fulfilling the goal of the grant. If the scope of the aims of your project has changed, please also include a brief explanation as to why this transition occurred. Please consult your individual welcome packet for deadlines, as these dates vary from year to year.

This annual event hosted by the Foundation in the spring of each year brings together all current fellows, the Foundation’s trustees and staff, and guests from the scientific community for an evening of networking and presentation of research. There is a distinguished keynote speaker, talks by members of the Revson selection committee, presentations from second-year fellows, and a poster session by first-year fellows. Attendance at this event each year is a requirement of the fellowship; formal invitations are sent via email.

The Foundation circulates an annual survey to stay updated on the achievements of all current and former fellows. We also encourage all fellows and alumni to join the Charles H. Revson Foundation Biomedical Fellows group on Facebook and LinkedIn. These groups allow Revson Biomedical Fellows to connect with current and former program participants. These sites are open only to Revson/Weizmann Biomedical Fellows classes of 2005 to the present. To join these groups simply follow the links above and request to be added.

In addition, you will receive a mandatory survey via email each year, which you are required to fill out and return to Revson in order to keep the Foundation updated on your work during and after the fellowship.
