Description
The AASLD Foundation’s Stravitz Visionary Award supports highly innovative research that could transform care for patients with liver disease. This project-based award enables early- to mid-career investigators to pursue basic, translational, or clinical studies with broad and sustained impact in hepatology. It is not a mentored award: applicants must demonstrate their ability to conduct the proposed work independently.
Priority goes to innovative or transformative projects with human applications and to multidisciplinary research. Multiple-principal-investigator and multi-institution studies are considered. Selection examines the research’s significance and innovation, the rigor and feasibility of its approach, and the investigators’ expertise and institutional resources. The 2027 award is supported by the R. Todd Stravitz AASLD Foundation Research Fund.
