History

Focusing on two key research areas, geriatrics and pain medicine, the Research Councils were launched in 2004 to increase awareness of and participation in FAER from various new sources, with the long-term goal of increasing the research funding available to FAER applicants.

The ASA Committee on Research continues to maintain the integrity of the review process for all FAER research applications, and funds received for the Councils will not be dispersed until and unless the Committee on Research identifies an initiative-related project that meets all of its set standards.

Mission

To facilitate involvement and expansion of the anesthesia community, to include practitioners and academicians, governmental and lay organizations and to promote opportunities for funding worthy science, new discoveries and specialized researchers who will enable anesthesiologists to evaluate and improve patient care.
