SOAP-FAER Mentored Research Training Grant

The SOAP-FAER Mentored Research Training Grant, sponsored by the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research, aims to cultivate the next generation of physician-investigators in obstetric anesthesiology and perinatology. This bi-yearly grant offers $250,000 over two years, supporting anesthesiologists in developing essential skills and preliminary research data. It encourages research that enhances the health of pregnant women and their infants, addressing critical areas in anesthesia care.

The Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER) is a 501(c)3 charitable organization, and a related organization of the American Society of Anesthesiologists®. For over 35 years, FAER has been dedicated to developing the next generation of physician-investigators.
Mentored Research Training Grants (MRTG) are intended for early career anesthesiologists interested in pursuing careers as physician-investigators and can be an important starting point. MRTGs help anesthesiologists develop the skills, preliminary data for subsequent grant applications and research publications needed to become independent investigators.
The MRTG is a two-year, $300,000 primary investigator award (no co-investigators) that provides funding to faculty members who have completed their core anesthesiology training within the past 10 years.* Year one is funded at $150,000, and year two is funded at $150,000. The MRTG requires between 60-75 percent protected nonclinical time for research.
Research Areas: All areas of research that contribute to advances in patient care and can lead to sustained extramural research will be considered, including basic science, clinical, translational, health services, and education researchFunding Amount and Duration: $300,000 over two yearsResearch Time: 60%
