Description
This grant provides salary support for residents or fellows in plastic surgery to engage in structured research training under the guidance of an experienced mentor. The goal is to foster research skills and academic career development early in a surgeon’s career. The program emphasizes the quality of the training plan, the research project, the applicant’s potential, and the mentor’s commitment. Only applicants whose research projects are already funded for supplies, equipment, and other non-salary expenses are eligible; this award is strictly for salary support during the research training period.
