American Association for the Surgery of Trauma

Research & Education Scholarships

To advance the field of acute care surgery, and improve the care of critically ill surgical patients, by fostering research, education, and professional development in an environment of fellowship and collegiality, the AAST supports young investigators with research scholarships to solicit research applications from early career investigators proposing basic science, translational, or clinical studies to advance trauma, surgical critical care, and emergency general surgery care. Provides funding for early investigators to complete a research project, which will serve as the basis for future grant applications and to launch the applicants' academic careers. Pilot projects, projects seeking exclusively preliminary data, or "proof of concept" projects will only be considered if the applicant provides sound scientific foundation for the proposal. Projects centered on Global Surgery/Trauma will be considered if found to be of sufficient merit and are scientifically sound. $50,000, one year
