Candidates must hold Early-Stage Investigator status, possess a clinical doctoral degree (MD, DO, DDS, DMD, OD, DC, PharmD, ND, or DVM, or PhD in clinical disciplines), and have received competitively awarded research support as a Program Director/Primary Investigator at the faculty level or leveraged faculty-level research support to develop an independent line of research; candidates must also demonstrate evidence of leadership in clinical or research domains.

Recipients must commit a minimum 75% effort to career development and attend annual domestic meetings for Beeson scholars.
