FAER Report
FAER provides research grant funding for promising investigators to train in clinical, basic science and translational anesthesiology research. These grants are designed to create opportunities for physicians to excel in an exceedingly competitive environment and to eventually acquire NIH funding.
Current grant opportunities are outlined in the table below. FAER is seeking grant applications for general research in anesthesiology, as well as research focused on critical care, geriatrics, obstetrics and pain.
