The 2024 Foundation to Advance Vascular Cures Wylie Scholar award is a 1-year, $50,000 grant designed to support outstanding young vascular surgeon-scientists who are dedicated to an academic career combining their clinical practice with original, innovative research. The award supports crucial research that enables them to compete for future funding. Wylie Scholars become North America’s world-class vascular surgeon-scientists; many are now chiefs at major academic centers, prominent leaders in the field, and play a key role in our programs.
Since 1996, 25 surgeon-scientists at 15 institutions around the country have become Wylie Scholars and their work is transforming patient care. Each year, the new grantee is selected by a committee of previous Wylie Scholars. The quality and rigor of the selection process are demonstrated by the fact that the average return on investment for follow-on research funding is 41:1..
Only one nomination from each academic training program within an institution per year will be considered. Interested applicants from within Duke should contact fundopps@duke.edu as early as possible.
The application is due on April 1, 2024.
