The Solbert Permutt Early Career Scholars Award will provide substantial support to a member of the faculty in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Johns Hopkins who is embarking on a career in research. The award can be used at the discretion of the awardee and mentors to purchase new research equipment, provide salary support for a research assistant or coordinator, or reduce clinical obligations. 

Potential awardees must be full-time members of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Johns Hopkins University and must have completed fellowship training within 5 years before the award is given. A small faculty selection committee will be appointed annually to represent the breadth of research within the community of respiratory and circulatory research.
