SCA-IARS Research Grants - $200,000
In 2009 the IARS pledged $1,000,000 to the SCA Foundation to support cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia research projects. As a result, the SCA-IARS Starter and Mid-Career Grants were created. Each year a single $100,000 Mid-Career Grant and two $50,000 Starter Grants are awarded to investigators with ranks of Associate Professor, or less. Learn more about the SCA-IARS Research Grants.
$200,000 in SCA-IARS Research Grants available annually.
