Description
The NASPGHAN Foundation Mid-Career Award supports NASPGHAN members conducting research in pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition. It funds new projects within established research areas or innovative investigations that depart from previously funded work. Each proposal must present a focused project with potential to significantly improve pediatric gastrointestinal, nutrition, or liver health and directly strengthen the investigator’s ability to obtain further federal peer-reviewed research funding.
The program encourages basic, clinical, quality improvement, translational, epidemiologic, dissemination, and implementation research. Its priorities include scientific significance, innovation, and ongoing and future career success. NASPGHAN also emphasizes consideration of health equity in research design to help decrease disparities in patient care and outcomes.
