Description
The Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract (SSAT) supports the development of early-career faculty investigators engaged in health care disparities research in digestive diseases. The award funds work examining differences in health care outcomes and developing methods to decrease those disparities, including global surgery projects and global clinical research.
Research may address the effects of race and ethnicity, access to health care, socioeconomic status, gender, age, disability, geographic location, or sexual orientation. Support can help investigators build clinical trial infrastructure, obtain administrative datasets, pursue clinical research or biostatistics training, and protect research time through principal investigator salary support. The SSAT Research Committee reviews applications.
