American Vascular Association and NHLBI Jointly Sponsored Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award (K08), Application Deadline: June 12, 2008 The American Vascular Association (AVA) and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), DHHS announce a program that will provide supplemental funding to an individual who receives an NHLBI Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award (K08) directed at vascular surgeon scientists in the early stages of their research careers. The objective of the Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award (K08) is to continue the long standing
NIH support of didactic study and mentored research for individuals with clinical doctoral degrees (e.g., MD, DDS, DMD, DO, DC, OD, ND, DVM, PharmD, or PhD in clinical disciplines). This award provides support and “protected time” for an intensive, supervised research career development experience in the fields of biomedical or behavioral research, including translational research.

American Vascular Association And NHLBI Jointly Sponsored Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award (K23), Application Deadline: June 12, 2008 The American Vascular Association (AVA) and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), DHHS announce a program that will provide supplemental funding to an individual who receives an NHLBI Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award (K23) directed at vascular surgeon scientists in the early stages of their research careers. The purpose of the Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award (K23) is to support the career development of investigators who have made a commitment to focus their research endeavors on patient-oriented research. This mechanism provides support for three to five years of supervised study and research for clinically trained professionals who have the potential to develop into productive, clinical investigators focusing on patient-oriented research. For more information, visit www.VascularWeb.org in the Awards and Scholarship section. CME Credit Available to JVS Readers Two Category 1 Continuing Medical Education (CME) Credits can be obtained by successfully answering questions about four articles from each issue of the Journal of Vascular Surgery. These articles are selected by the Editors because they contain information relevant to vascular surgery practice, and questions are supplied by the authors that can be answered after reading the articles.
