Description
The Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER) offers Mentored Research Training Grants to help anesthesiologists develop the skills, preliminary data, and publications needed to become independent investigators. The program combines research support with mentoring and career development, building a foundation for subsequent grant applications and sustained extramural research.
The program considers all areas of research that contribute to advances in patient care and can lead to sustained extramural support. These include basic science, clinical, translational, health services, and education research. Awards support faculty members early in their research careers rather than established investigators changing research interests. The quality of the mentoring relationship and the applicant’s career development plan are major elements of the application review.
