The Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER) offers Mentored Research Training Grants to help early-career anesthesiologists become independent physician-investigators. The two-year award supports mentored research and career development intended to produce research skills, preliminary data for subsequent grant applications, and publications.
FAER considers basic science, clinical, translational, health services, and education research that contributes to advances in patient care and can lead to sustained extramural research. The application places substantial emphasis on the mentoring relationship and the applicant’s plan for an independent research career.
