The mission of the PSF (Plastic Surgery Foundation) is to support research and development in the field of plastic surgery, with a focus on funding innovative projects that can quickly transition from discovery through FDA approval into clinical testing. This research aims at improving commercial development, benefiting patients, and addressing unmet clinical needs with the end goal of enhancing the field's overall body of knowledge and patient care capabilities.
The Combined Pilot Research Grants aim to support the initial or pilot phase of research projects relevant to academic plastic surgery and its subspecialties. The grants encourage research across all fields related to academic plastic surgery, with a special interest in education and global health. Specifically, they seek to address how essential aspects of plastic surgery can be effectively taught and assessed, ways to encourage top students into the field, the integration of simulation in training, and the assessment of technical skills in plastic surgery, among other educational concerns. Regarding global health, the focus is on improving access and quality of reconstructive surgical care in low- and middle-income countries, assessing health care outcomes, and exploring the integration of global health initiatives into local systems. The grant provides up to $5,000 for 1-year pilot projects.
