Our donors help us fulfill our mission by funding research grant and career development opportunities for medical students, residents, and physician scientists.

In 2009, donor contributions funded more than $1 million in FAER research projects that will investigate a wide range of anesthesia-related topics, from exploring how morphine tolerance develops at different ages to using optogenetics to study the neural correlates of consciousness.

FAER-funded research projects like these lead to innovations that improve the anesthesiologist’s ability to care for patients. But the pace of innovation must increase if we are to ensure continued improvement in the safety and science of healthcare delivery.

Donate now to support the growth of FAER research grants and educational programs. The bright future of the specialty depends on it.
