$80,000 Clinical Scholar Research Awards
Clinical Scholar Research Awards - Created to further the understanding of clinical practice in anesthesiology and related sciences through clinical investigations. Research must involve human subjects, in vivo or in vitro. The maximum amount to be awarded for any project is $80,000 paid in two equal annual installments. Please note that institutional indirect expenses are not funded. The principal applicant must be a member of the IARS and an investigator with research experience but who has yet to establish a history of substantial funding and be less than ten years after completion of clinical training or PhD. Prior recipients of an IARS Clinical Scholar Research Award are not eligible to apply. In general, previous or current recipients of NIH R0-1 grants, or the equivalent, will not be eligible to apply. Exceptions to this rule are possible for individuals who have not previously received funding for clinical research. The awards will go to projects that are judged by peer review to have high scientific merit and high probability of success. Priority funding will be awarded to those proposals that are independent of other extramural grant support. Experienced investigators working in new areas will receive consideration. The proposed project must have direct relevance to the specialty of anesthesiology. Up to five recipients will be selected for the 2009 award.
Application deadline is July 25, 2008.
