This award provides one year of bridge funding to mid-career surgeon-scientists who are members of the Society of University Surgeons (SUS) in the United States or Canada. It is designed to support those who have demonstrated a significant track record in research funding but have recently experienced an unsuccessful application for a major independent grant (such as an R01 or equivalent).
