Description
The Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) Research Grants stimulate original bench and clinical research in gastrointestinal and endoscopic surgery. Awards supplement institutional resources with seed support for research personnel, equipment, and services. SAGES particularly encourages young investigators and Candidate Members, with the goal of helping their research lead to additional extramural funding.
The SAGES Research and Career Development Committee conducts blinded, conflict-free reviews, with recommended awards approved by the governing board. Research question importance forms part of the assessment, informed by published SAGES research priorities. The program emphasizes scientific merit, rigorous experimental design, appropriate investigator expertise, and the likelihood of successful project completion.
