"Receiving the Clinician Teacher Development Award gave me critical funding for my project to understand and reduce the barriers to cervical cancer screening for Latino women in the Boston area. I am grateful for the generous support and mentoring that MAO has given me, which was essential for the success of these projects and my career over the past seven years." —Marcela del Carmen, MD, MPH, Associate in Gynecology and Obstetrics, 2005 CTDA
MINORITY FACULTY DEVELOPMENT AWARD PROGRAM (MFDAP)

• The Physician-Scientist Development Award (PSDA) – for URM fellows or faculty pursuing a career as a physician-scientist. Funded by the MGH Executive Committee on Research. Attached is the 2013 PSDA Call for Applications.
• The Clinician-Teacher Development Award (CTDA) – for URM faculty pursuing a career as a clinician teacher, community leader or administrator. Funded by the President’s Office and the Massachusetts General Physicians Organization. The CTDA eligibility requirements have been expanded this year to include mid-career faculty, as well.
