The SVS Foundation Mentored Research Career Development Awards Program supports clinically trained vascular surgeons with the potential to become productive, independent investigators. It provides supplemental funding for biomedical or behavioral research, including translational research, and patient-oriented research linked to eligible National Institutes of Health (NIH) or Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) mentored career development awards.
The program complements NIH K08 and K23, NHLBI K01, and AHRQ K08 awards. Funding is paid to the awardee’s institution for salary support or expenses related to the federally supported research project. The American College of Surgeons (ACS) co-sponsors a select number of awards each year, and support from Gore also helps make the program possible.
