Individuals who have completed their clinical anesthesia training and have academic appointments at the instructor or assistant professor level, no more than 10 years after completion of residency or fellowship, are eligible to apply. The recipient must be guaranteed 75% protected non-clinical time for research, which may include research related to but not specifically for the project being funded. The research mentor must have a minimum of 40% non-clinical academic time devoted to research activities during the two-year duration of the grant. A detailed mentoring and career development plan is part of the application for an MRTG-BS.
Mentored Research Training Grant - Clinical and Translational Science (MRTG-CT) The Mentored Research Training Grant - Clinical and Translational Science (MRTG-CT) is a two-year grant (the first year is funded at $75,000 and the second year is funded at $100,000) awarded for clinical or translational research. Individuals who have completed their clinical anesthesia training and have academic appointments at the instructor or assistant professor level, no more than 10 years after completion of residency or fellowship, are eligible to apply. The recipient must be guaranteed 75% protected non-clinical time for research, which may include research related to but not specifically for the project being funded. The research mentor must have a minimum of 40% non-clinical academic time devoted to research activities during the two-year duration of the grant.

Research Fellowship Grant (RFG) A Research Fellowship Grant (RFG) provides a one-year $75,000 grant to individuals participating in a clinical training program that is part of an ACGME-approved anesthesiology residency program. This 12 contiguous months of FAER-sponsored research must be combined with at least six months of research that is part of the residency program continuum (CBY – CA3 years), consistent with the ABA templates for research, for a total of 18 months of research experience. Alternately, the 12 months of FAER-sponsored research can be in conjunction (either before or after) a one-year clinical fellowship sponsored by an ACGME-approved residency program. A research mentor must be identified and must provide written commitment to strong, direct involvement in all research activity. During the 12-month fellowship period the recipient will be required to spend a minimum of 80% of his or her time in research related to but not specifically on the project.
Research Education Grant (REG) A Research in Education Grant (REG) is a two-year grant to be awarded competitively to individuals who have completed their clinical anesthesia training and have academic faculty appointments. The REG is intended to stimulate career development for anesthesiologists interested in research into the concepts, methods and techniques of education in anesthesiology in all its forms, including novel approaches to educating medical students, residents, fellows and practicing physicians. Applications from both junior and senior faculty are accepted. A mentor with expertise in education is required for all applicants. Each of the two years is funded at $50,000 per year. The recipient must be guaranteed a minimum of 40% protected non-clinical time for research related to this education project. Application may be made for a second two-year award and will be reviewed competitively with other applications.
