OMeGA Medical Grants Association has changed its schedule for fellowship grants to align with specialty match timelines.

The next fellowship grant cycle will be for 2-year grants, covering the 2011–2012 and 2012–2013 academic years. Grant recipients will be notified in early March 2011, so that funded programs can rely on OMeGA funding for their match applications and selections for the 2012–2013 academic year. This timing will work for all specialty matches except shoulder, which has an early notification date in December.

The application period for the 2011–2013 fellowship grant cycle begins Oct. 20, 2010, and runs until 5 p.m. CST on January 21, 2011. Grant notification will be on March 8, 2011, and a public announcement of grant recipients will be made on March 24, 2011.
