Description
The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation (APSF) and the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER) jointly offer this grant to develop the next generation of perioperative patient safety scientists. It helps early-career anesthesiologist faculty develop research skills and preliminary data needed to become independent investigators.
The program supports research into preventable patient harm and interventions to reduce it, including work relevant to perioperative care, chronic pain, and critical care medicine. Research may use observational, interventional, implementation, qualitative, or quantitative methods in real or simulated care environments. Hypothesis-generating and hypothesis-testing projects are considered. The program-specific instructions emphasize experienced patient safety mentorship, rigorous methods, and a career development plan supporting the transition to independence.
