MSFHR Competition timeline changes due to COVID-19

MSFHR is closely monitoring the evolution and impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). They've implemented several changes to align with public health recommendations to restrict travel, limit face-to-face gatherings and maintain social distance protocols.
Below is a summary of the changes:
· Full applications have already been received by MSFHR and are under peer review.
· Peer review meetings will be conducted virtually. We are confident that high quality peer-review can be achieved through virtual meetings and we have experience doing this with a few review panels last year.
- MSFHR is moving ahead with the initial timelines and anticipate that the awards will still be announced this summer, and maintain their original award start dates of July 1, 2020 for Scholar and September 1, 2020 for Research Trainee.

o I2C:
§ Deadline to submit to Host Institution: June 30, 2020
§ Deadline for HIs to submit to MSFHR: July 7, 2020
