Deadline Is Next Week for Resident Research Scholarships

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 in pursuing careers in academic surgery anywhere on the research continuum. The deadline to submit an application is Monday, September 16.

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 resident salary, personnel, equipment, supplies, and/or travel. Scholarship acceptance of it requires commitment for the 2-year period in full-time research.
