Dr. Kazem Kazempour

Gaithersburg, Maryland – October 15, 2026 – Applications are now open for the Dr. Kazem Kazempour Scholarship for Medical Students, a one-time $1,000 educational award created for undergraduate students with a clear vision for the future of American healthcare. The national scholarship challenges students to answer one central question: how can the next generation of medical professionals use research, innovation, and evidence to improve healthcare?

The Dr. Kazem Kazempour Scholarship is open to qualifying undergraduates nationwide — regardless of state or city — who are preparing for careers in medicine, biomedical science, clinical research, public health, and related fields. Ideal candidates bring strong academic drive, a genuine passion for improving patient care, and a commitment to continuing their education.

At the heart of the application is a single essay prompt: How can the next generation of medical professionals use research, innovation, and evidence to improve healthcare? Students are encouraged to identify a pressing healthcare challenge and explain how their education and future careers could help solve it.

Built on Three Decades of Clinical Research Leadership

The Dr. Kazem Kazempour Scholarship is grounded in the career of its founder, a clinical research veteran with more than 30 years of experience and contributions to over 100 clinical trials spanning a wide range of therapeutic areas. Dr. Kazem Kazempour’s expertise covers clinical trial analysis, drug development, regulatory science, medical devices, and biostatistics.

Earlier in his career, Dr. Kazempour served as a statistical reviewer and mathematical statistician at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, where he supervised and conducted statistical analyses of clinical trials, reviewed study protocols and regulatory submissions, and helped guide scientific decision-making in medical product development. His contributions at the FDA earned recognition for innovative problem solving and collaborative team building.

Dr. Kazem Kazempour has also remained deeply connected to higher education, teaching statistics, biostatistics, and clinical trial project management to university students, researchers, scientists, and working professionals. The Dr. Kazem Kazempour Scholarship extends that commitment — challenging students to think critically, reason carefully, and approach healthcare with curiosity.

“America’s next generation of healthcare leaders will be defined by how they think, not just by what they know,” said Dr. Kazem Kazempour. “This scholarship is about encouraging students to connect real-world healthcare challenges with practical, evidence-based solutions.”

What Judges Are Looking For

Winners of the Dr. Kazem Kazempour Scholarship will be selected based on the strength of their essays. The review process prioritizes clarity of thought, sound reasoning, academic motivation, and each applicant’s potential to make a lasting impact on healthcare. Judges hope to see essays that link a real healthcare concern to actionable ideas for progress.
