Description
This grant, offered by the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) Foundation, is designed to foster the development of clinical investigators in the field of vascular disease. It provides seed funding for pilot clinical projects with the potential to evolve into larger studies, supporting innovative, patient-oriented research that directly involves human subjects or human-derived materials. The program particularly encourages applications from junior SVS members or those with limited prior experience as principal investigators, and prioritizes projects aligned with SVS Clinical Research Priorities, such as risk-prediction tools, diagnostic models, and studies addressing health disparities.
