The ACS offers 2-year resident research scholarships for residents in general surgery or a surgical specialty training program. These scholarships are supported by the generosity of Fellows, Chapters, and friends of the College, to encourage residents to pursue careers in academic surgery anywhere on the research continuum. Applications for the 2026–2028 cycle are now being accepted.

The awardee must be a Resident Member of the ACS who has completed at least 2 postdoctoral years in an accredited surgical training program (any specialty) in the US or Canada at the time the scholarship starts (July of the award year).

The scholarship is for $60,000 over 2 years and may be used for direct costs related to research only, such as resident salary, personnel, equipment, supplies, and/or travel. Scholarship acceptance requires commitment for the 2-year period in full-time research.

View the scope of work supported by the resident research scholarships in July/August Bulletin, and then apply today.
