For many AOSSM members, grant writing and research is now an integral part of your practice and may be an expectation of your institution. The AOSSM Research Committee presents a two-hour research workshop that addresses the needs of both junior, as well as more senior, surgeons.
Panelists from various funding agencies (NIH, DOD, FDA) are asked to highlight and discuss their funding priorities, their perspective on what makes a successful application, and what it takes to sit on a study section and review grant applications.
This session includes a panel discussion composed of physician researchers from different practice settings (academic, private practice, hospital employee, etc.). This moderator guided panel discusses topics such as challenges conducting research in various settings, success stories, how to turn pilot funding into a larger grant, etc.
