Description
The Society for Vascular Surgery’s SVS Foundation Student Research Fellowship supports laboratory and clinical vascular research by undergraduate college students and medical school students. The program furthers students’ scientific education by introducing rigorous scientific methods to clinical problems and underlying biological processes important to patients with vascular disease.
Supported projects include basic science and translational research with a vascular surgeon-scientist mentor, as well as clinical research under a mentor experienced in clinical investigation. Successful applications are hypothesis-focused and achievable within the proposed research period. Mentorship is central: the sponsoring SVS member supervises the project and assists with experimental design. The award is made possible through support from Gore.
