Thoracic Surgery Foundation for Research and Education

Through the generosity of the Southern Thoracic Surgical Association (STSA) , this award provides up to $40,000 per year for up to two years to support the research fellowship of a resident for general surgery or cardiothoracic surgery residents who have not yet completed cardiothoracic surgical training. During the fellowship, the resident will work in a cardiothoracic surgical clinical or laboratory research program.

These awards are designed to provide salary and/or direct experimental support for surgical trainees who wish to acquire investigational skills. No additional funds will be paid out for indirect, fringe, or other expenditures. Although a specific research program is required as the major component of the application, emphasis for selection is placed on the potential of the applicant, based on prior accomplishments, and the quality of the educational experience for the applicant. Particular emphasis is placed on evidence of supervisory interaction in preparation of the application, the extent to which research training and a productive educational experience is convincingly described, and the training environment.
