A.D. Williams grants and awards

The A.D. Williams family left a generous bequest to support medical scholarship and research at the Medical College of Virginia. Today these funds are administered by a committee including the vice president for health sciences of VCU and the deans of the five health sciences schools at VCU.

The committee annually allots a portion of these funds to foster and support research and faculty development. It also sponsors outstanding researcher awards, the recipients of which are chosen by the individual schools. In addition, the MCV Foundation contributes funds from endowments specifically designated for medical research or research into specific diseases or conditions. Monies from these disease-related funds are used to support appropriate A.D. Williams research applications and are not available for direct solicitation.

More information is available on the A.D. Williams Web site.
