Description
The Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract (SSAT) offers this research fellowship to support resident and fellow surgeons working within the research programs of SSAT members. The award supports one year of research and may be renewed for an additional year. Eligible work includes clinical and translational research, outcomes and health services research, and basic science investigation.
Funding helps defray salary and direct research expenses while supplementing, rather than replacing, customary compensation and benefits. The SSAT Research Committee reviews applications. The award also connects recipients’ work with the society’s scientific meeting and official journal: recipients must present a final report at the SSAT Annual Meeting and are asked to consider submitting resulting abstracts and manuscripts for presentation or publication consideration.
