Description
The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) Research Grant Award program supports investigator-led research in metabolic and bariatric surgery. Established in 2004 and managed by the society’s Research Committee, the program provides seed money to carry out defined research projects. Support focuses on the research work itself, including laboratory equipment, materials, and personnel.
The application framework asks investigators to explain the research problem and its significance, state a hypothesis, and describe their methods. It also addresses prior or concurrent studies, preliminary work, available resources, project budgets, other funding sources, and future funding plans.
