The SVS Foundation supports advancing vascular health through research, education, and advocacy. It is dedicated to fostering the growth of knowledge in the field of vascular disease and treatment, encouraging innovation, and developing the next generation of vascular health professionals by providing financial support and research opportunities.
The Clinical Research Seed Grant Program by the SVS Foundation emphasizes the importance of vascular surgeons playing a key role in clinical trials, both industry and investigator-led. Its goals include encouraging clinical investigation among its members, especially those who are junior or have limited experience as principal investigators. It aims to provide support for pilot clinical projects that show promise for developing into larger studies funded by industry or governmental sources.
The grant supports clinical research focused on patient-oriented studies, encouraging applications that address the SVS Clinical Research Priorities. It is open to various types of clinical research, including small-scale trials, ancillary studies linked to existing trials, and projects investigating the natural history of vascular disease, the effectiveness of interventions, or the development of diagnostic tools and risk-prediction models. A specific interest is noted in studies exploring disparities in care and outcomes.
Funding of $25,000 is provided for direct costs over a one-year period, covering expenses such as laboratory assays, imaging studies, data collection, and statistical support.
