Description
The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) administers this award to promote research and innovation in gastrointestinal endoscopy. It supports basic, translational, and clinical studies, including pilot projects generating preliminary data and definitive studies. An overarching goal is to help investigators develop larger extramural proposals for federal or industry sponsors. Diversity and inclusion are integral to ASGE’s research mission.
Research areas include gastrointestinal cancer and premalignant-condition screening, artificial intelligence and computer-aided detection or diagnosis, endoscopy training and competency assessment, health disparities and access to endoscopic care, and quality measurement and improvement. Endoscopic bariatric and metabolic therapies, advanced endoscopy techniques, and green endoscopy are also supported. Pilot proposals must explicitly outline subsequent projects and their funding plans, based on the preliminary data to be generated.
