American College of Surgeons Co-Sponsored K08/K23 NIH Supplement Awards

American College of Surgeons Co-Sponsored K08/K23 NIH Supplement Awards The American College of Surgeons has announced a program that will provide supplemental funding to individuals who receive a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award (K08/K23).  This award is directed at surgeon-scientists working in the early stages of their research careers.  The award requires cosponsorship with an approved surgical society of a three-, four- or five-year period of supervised research experience that may integrate didactic studies with laboratory or clinically based research. This award program will help to facilitate the career development of individuals pursuing careers in surgical research by enhancing salary support over and above that offered by the K08/K23 mechanism.  Awardees must be members in good standing of both the College and the cosponsoring surgical society.  Participating surgical societies include Society for Vascular Surgery and Thoracic Surgery Foundation for Research and Education. Applications are due by October 12, 2014, the same as the NIH deadline, with funding to begin July 1, 2015. Applicants must submit a copy of the completed NIH application to the College and advise the ACS Scholarships Administrator of the NIH’s decision regarding their application. For further details, please contact the ACS Scholarships Administrator at [e-mail].
