The COVID-19 Fund to Retain Clinical Scientists   https://www.ddcf.org/globalassets/medicalresearch/frcs/covid-19-frcs-rfa.pdf?id=6913  will recognize exemplary institutional efforts to evolve supports for researchers with family caregiving responsibilities as part of their broader efforts to ensureequitable responses to future crises. These grants would add a tool to medical schools’ efforts to normalize family caregiving as part of their operations supporting physician scientists and their broader faculty. The grants would provide support for research supplements primarily to physician scientists at the time of a caregiving crisis to: 1) advance clinical research in an inclusive but not gender-neutral way, 2) enable recipients to repurpose their time so their research can continue,  and 3) validate rather than reinforce stigma around caregiving in clinical research.
Required letter of intent due by 3pm ET on June 22, 2021
