Mallinckrodt Scholar Program
The Trustees of the Edward Mallinckrodt, Jr. Foundation established a program to support early-stage investigators engaged in biomedical research that has the potential to significantly advance the understanding, diagnosis, or treatment of disease. The program is called the Mallinckrodt Scholar Program. UW is one of thirty-one institutions that have been invited to submit two candidates. Four candidates will be selected at a March 2024 meeting to appear for a formal interview either in Saint Louis or via Zoom in June, 2024. All travel expenses for the interview will be reimbursed by the Foundation.
