Our department is thrilled to be participating in this year’s Academic Giving Competition supporting the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER)!
We all know the critical importance research represents to our field – research that wouldn’t be possible without ensuring a steady inflow of researchers into the specialty ready to move anesthesiology and medicine forward.
In pursuit of that goal, every year FAER awards over $2.5 million in grants and sponsors more than 100 student fellows and resident scholars!
As many of you may know, FAER has had a massive impact on our department. In the past 25 years, 23 members of our department have received research grants from FAER, totaling more than $3 million. This includes current mentored research training grant awardee, Dr. Melissa Hector-Greene, and current research fellowship grant awardee, Dr. Mitsu Yoshida. In addition, FAER’s medical student anesthesia research fellowship (MSARF) program has helped 25 medical students spend summers in our laboratories since 2008, and FAER’s resident scholar program (RSP) has helped our residents present their research work at ASA. In any case, we all benefit from FAER’s work. You can learn more about FAER at FAER.org.
Give to support the future of our field and the researchers who will lead us there! Give to support FAER and its mission! And give to help us take home the gold!? We’re aiming to win:
- Bragging rights!
- A trophy!
- A FAER-funded get-together!
- Grand Rounds by FAER leadership!
Every dollar raised will support FAER’s work to nurture anesthesiology’s physician-investigators. Every donation, no matter the amount, is truly meaningful. We are profoundly grateful for your generosity on behalf of not only our department, but our specialty and the patients we care for. And no matter the outcome, FAER’s grantees, scholars, and fellows win thanks to your support!
Thank you!
