Can a grant recipient receive more than one grant?
Yes, Medical School individual applicants can apply to the Foundation irrespective of whether they have received a grant before. Every year the application process starts afresh so in the case of those who were successful in the grant process one year they are by no means guaranteed repeat funding.
