Residents and fellows, who wish to have their work considered for the 2008 New Investigator Award, are now asked to forward a manuscript of their research to the SNACC office. The manuscript should be submitted along with a diskette of the material.

Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER)

Mentored Research Training Grant
FAER will accept applications from individuals up to 10 years post-residency, extending the deadline from its previous five years.
Research time required for an MRTG was reduced from 80% to 75% time. Also, the mentor stipend was adjusted from $40,000 to $20,000 annually.
Research Fellowship Grant prerequisite becomes more flexible, too. The first six months of research training no longer needs to immediately precede the research year. This creates more flexibility for applicants.

We’re always eager to hear from you. Give us a call at 507-266-6866 or drop us an email at sessler.alan@mayo.edu or losness.jonathan@mayo.edu
