Description
This opportunity, co-sponsored by the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER) and the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA), funds research that advances the science and practice of anesthesiology education. The program prioritizes projects evaluating the value and impact of ABA certification programs—including initial certification, Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology (MOCA), and the staged examination system—and encourages proposals with a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion. The grant provides resources and mentorship for anesthesiologist faculty to develop and execute research that may utilize ABA data, assessment tools, or primary data collection to improve educational outcomes in the field.
