Research Grants--Pediatric Surgery
American Pediatric Surgical Association
All Regions
03/01/2009
$25,000

The American Pediatric Surgical Association Foundation (APSAF) desires to encourage the
enrichment of members of the American Pediatric Surgical Association by providing support
for proposals which will broaden the horizon of the recipient in a fashion not otherwise
readily achieved and for which funds may not be available from usual current sources. The
APSAF welcomes proposals for support of projects that encompass the humanities, medical
ethics, education, clinical epidemiology, biostatistics, health care delivery, computer
sciences, as well as clinical or laboratory research as they relate to the surgical sciences or to
the delivery of pediatric surgical care and may include traveling fellowships or special
scholarships. Projects should be supplemental to but not a part of an ongoing clinical,
laboratory, educational or administrative obligation of the applicant but could have some
relevant connection to ongoing activities of the applicant and should provide an extra
dimension that will enhance or enrich the recipient, an institution, a community, children or
society in general.

Who May Apply

Individuals eligible to apply for an APSAF grant include regular members of APSA, a
current pediatric surgery resident in training verified by the training program director and
sponsored by an APSA member, or those individuals that have completed an ACGMERRC
or Canadian Royal College of Surgeons accredited pediatric surgery residency
training program and are either candidate members or have applied for full or candidate
membership in APSA. Individuals in these latter two applicant categories must also be
sponsored by an APSA member.

Application Due Date

The deadline for receipt of applications in the APSAF office is March 1, 2009 to be
considered for receipt of the award at the APSA meeting in May, 2009. FAX copies of the
application forms and support letters are not acceptable.

Amount and Duration of Grant

This year APSAF will award two $25,000 grants. APSAF grants are usually approved for
one year but may under special circumstances be renewable for up to two years. When
warranted by the special nature of the project, awards may be approved for a shorter duration
in a set block of time or may be interrupted for periods of variable duration.
