Description
The Plastic Surgery Foundation's Research Fellowships are designed to foster the academic and research career development of early-career plastic surgeons. These fellowships provide up to one year of full-time salary support for a resident or fellow to gain hands-on research training under the mentorship of an experienced investigator. The program emphasizes a structured training plan, applicant potential, and the quality of the research and mentorship experience. Importantly, the fellowship is intended for those working on already funded research projects, and the award is strictly for salary support (not for research costs or indirect expenses).
