FAER Announces New Research Grants
The Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research
(FAER) Board of Directors met on May 19-20, 2004,
and after significant preparation, deliberation and
motivation, voted to approve several landmark programs
to better serve the needs of anesthesiology educators,
mentors, researchers and practitioners. These precedent-setting
decisions include approval of the new Mentored Research
Training Grant (RTG) with the added $40,000-per-year
award for the mentor and the new two-year Research
in Education Grant (REG) with an award of $50,000
per year.
For more information on these awards and for updated
application materials, visit the FAER Web site at

Mentored Research Training Grant (RTG)
FAER will increase the amount of the existing FAER
RTG with an additional award of $40,000 per year for
the two-year grant to be provided to the mentor of
the awardee with a requirement for a minimum of 40
percent time allotment for the mentor for nonclinical
time for research activity. This amount will be in
addition to the basic RTG award of $75,000 for the
first year and $100,000 for the second.
The Mentored RTG will begin for those applications
submitted by the August 15, 2004,
deadline and will replace the previous RTG.
Research in Education Grant (REG)
FAER will initiate a $50,000-per-year, two-year REG
to interested faculty at any level of appointment.
This grant will replace the previous $25,000 Education
Research Grant. Mentoring is encouraged for all applicants
and required for those with assistant professor or
lower faculty appointments. Applicants are encouraged
to seek mentoring outside the anesthesiology department
and medical school when such is not available from
within.
The REG will begin for those applications submitted
by the August 15, 2004, deadline
and will replace the previous Education Research Grant.
