The Society for Pediatric Anesthesia (SPA) has teamed with FAER to offer a co-sponsored SPA-FAER Mentored Research Training Grant (MRTG). This grant is available as part of FAER’s Spring 2025 Grant Cycle, and seeks to develop the next generation of pediatric anesthesiology investigators.

The SPA-FAER Mentored Research Training Grant will provide $250,000 in funding over a two-year period to develop the next generation of pediatric anesthesiology investigators who will contribute to advancing the health and well-being of children.

SPA and FAER will award two SPA-FAER Mentored Research Training Grants to the sponsoring institution of a highly promising new pediatric anesthesiology scientist, the first as part of FAER’s Spring 2025 Grant Cycle, and the second in 2027. The grant aims to help anesthesiologists develop the skills and preliminary data they need to become independent investigators in the area of pediatric anesthesiology.

Prior to submitting a full application, this funding mechanism requires the submission of a Letter of Intent (LOI), after which selected investigators will be invited to submit a full application. LOI submissions for the SPA-FAER MRTG are open through January 15, 2025. Additional details regarding application requirements and process, as well as links to submit LOIs, are available for download on the dedicated SPA-FAER MRTG webpage.
