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 Translational and Innovation Research Grant aims to accelerate the development of novel translational innovations, such as devices, diagnostics, and technology, from discovery through FDA approval into clinical testing. It supports research projects with clear commercial development goals, focusing on creating a viable commercial product intended for commercialization within three years. The grant emphasizes milestone-driven projects rather than discovery or hypothesis-based research. Funding offered is up to $50,000 for 1-year projects, with the option for applicants to apply for additional funding for a second year. The second year's funding is contingent upon demonstrating how the first grant has significantly expedited the process of converting the research into a clinically relevant application.
