Premios y Distinciones

  •   ASHG/Charles J. Epstein Trainee Award for Excellence in Human Genetics Research

    American Society of Human Genetics

    Estados Unidos, 2013

    ASHG honors excellence in research conducted by predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees (including genetic counseling trainees) through merit-based awards that recognize highly competitive abstracts submitted and presented at the ASHG Annual Meeting. These awards were renamed in 2012 to honor the late Dr. Charles Epstein, who was a past president of ASHG, former editor of AJHG, and winner of both the William Allan Award and the McKusick Leadership Award. The Program Committee and Awards Committee, in consultation with the ASHG Board of Directors, determine the number of awards, the categories for which they are given, and the prize amounts of each award (currently $750 plus complimentary registration for approximately 60 semifinalists). Abstract scoring is completed by the Program Committee, and the top-ranking abstracts (semifinalists) are submitted to the Awards Committee, which selects 18 finalists (who receive an additional $250) prior to the Annual Meeting. Six winners, receiving an additional $1,000 each, are chosen after the committee members judge the finalists' presentations

  •   Beca Fulbright – CONICYT para estudios de Doctorado en el extranjero

    COMISION FULBRIGHT-CHILE

    Chile, 2008

    La Comisión Fulbright y la Comisión Nacional de Investigación Científica y Tecnológica (CONICYT) establecieron en 2002 un programa de becas cuya finalidad es apoyar a profesionales de nacionalidad chilena que deseen obtener un doctorado en universidades estadounidenses. En este marco, se postula en primera instancia a la Comisión Fulbright. Las personas preseleccionadas en esta etapa que reciban una carta de admisión de una universidad de los Estados Unidos ubicada en los primeros 150 lugares de los rankings Times Higher Education (THE) o Academic Ranking of World Universities (Shanghai, ARWU), o de un programa académico ubicado en los primeros 50 lugares de los rankings ya señalados, podrán postular en segunda instancia a la convocatoria de doctorado de Becas Chile
