This award is intended for residents in any of the surgical disciplines who are doing basic/translational, clinical, health services, surgical education, or bioengineering/information technology research.
Eligible residents will have completed at least two years of training in the United States or Canada by the start date of the award (July 1, 2022) and agree to spend at least one year in full-time research with a SUS member.
Deadline: May 20, 2022
This is a one-year award of $30,000. The funds can be used for either salary or expense support, but must be expended solely for the sponsored research project. No indirect costs will be covered. Generally, indirect costs would refer to costs such as electricity, water, internet services, janitorial services, etc., for which the award does not pay the institution at which you will conduct your research, but it is always best to speak with your Chair for guidance and procedures. The stipend is expected to cover the cost of the awardee presentation requirement which is listed below (i.e. no additional travel funds will be provided). The purchase of any equipment greater than $1,000 must be adequately justified in a budget justification section.
