Fast Track Grant LOIs Open

The application period for Resident and Fellow Fast Track Grants sponsored by the American Foundation for Surgery of the Hand (AFSH) is now open. Functioning similarly to the NIH R03 grant mechanism, each Fast Track Grant awards $5K for young investigators to conduct innovative research in a short amount of time with limited resources. Submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) by July 7 as an easy first step in the application process, and upon acceptance, full applications may be submitted by August 18. Applicants who would like to receive feedback on their LOI from the American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH) Clinical Research and Grantsmanship Committee are invited to submit by May 26.
