The Gold, Diamond, Platinum and Giant Robotic grants are described below:
Gold-level grants range from $500-$1000 USD each and ideally suited to fund small surgery education projects such as survey research projects. The timeline for these projects should be within one academic year.
Diamond-level grants are well-suited for mixed methods surgery education projects. The timeline for these projects should be within one to two academic years.
The Platinum level grant is designed to support multi-institutional research projects. The timeline for these projects should be two academic years.
The Giant Robot grant will be funded as two grants of $25,000 USD for 2022. It is designed to support research projects that focus on robotic surgery research questions including curriculum design, training programs, assessment metrics, and patient outcomes. The timeline for these projects should be two academic years. The $25,000 grant will be distributed in two payments (July 2024, and January 2025).
For all grants funds must be used for direct costs or to support a research assistant, statistician, or other study staff. Funds cannot be used for indirect costs, administrative or travel costs, publication costs, or salary support for the Principal Investigator, Co-PIs, or collaborators.
