Francis D. Pagani, MD Endowed Mentorship Award

International Society for Heart & Lung Transplantation

Mentorship is one of the essential values of our society and of our professional lives. Named after its inaugural recipient and funded through the ISHLT Foundation, up to one Francis D. Pagani, MD Endowed Mentorship Award will be given annually to an ISHLT member who displays selfless mentorship of clinicians, educators, or researchers dedicated to the treatment of advanced heart and lung disease.

Award Details

One $5,000 award may be given each year.

Award Policies

It is recommended that all funding be used to further mentorship activities.
Funds will be provided in a single payment.
It will be the responsibility of the recipient to designate whether the funding will be sent to them directly or to their institution
No amount of funding can be used to cover indirect costs.

AI based application success predictor

Here are the most consistent “success predictors” for International Society for Heart & Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) / ISHLT Foundation grants, based on what ISHLT publicly emphasizes in how proposals are scored/reviewed and what tends to win in society-grant peer review.

1) Match to ISHLT mission + the specific grant’s scope

Projects that clearly advance transplantation, mechanical circulatory support, and innovative therapies (and the particular grant topic area) tend to do better.

2) Strong “score drivers”: significance + novelty + feasibility

ISHLT’s Innovation Challenge–type mechanisms explicitly score things like:

Novelty

Research approach

Feasibility of obtaining relevant data

Prior work (evidence you can execute)
(And some programs also list significance/innovation directly.)

In practice, this translates to: a tight question, a doable plan, and credible proof you can deliver (pilot data, access to patients/samples/registry, realistic recruitment).

3) “Prior work” that reduces reviewer risk

Even when a grant is aimed at early investigators, reviewers still want to see:

a track record in the area (papers/abstracts, prior related projects), or

a mentor/team with that track record + your clear role
ISHLT specifically names prior work as part of scoring (for some grants), so having concrete preliminary outputs helps.

4) Mentor + environment that make success inevitable (especially for fellowships)

For trainee/fellowship-style awards, ISHLT requires the applicant and mentor/project director to be members by a stated deadline, and the applicant must truly be in a trainee role (not faculty-level). That structure signals what reviewers value: a real training plan + committed mentor + resources.

5) Clean, fundable proposal mechanics

ISHLT notes proposals are reviewed for scientific merit and fundability by multiple reviewers (and sometimes outside experts).
So “fundable” tends to mean:

specific aims that aren’t overly broad

methods/statistics that match the question

realistic timeline and milestones

budget that is tight and justified

6) Eligibility and membership: don’t give reviewers an easy reason to toss it

Many ISHLT grants require ISHLT membership in good standing (sometimes by a deadline) and other role-specific eligibility (e.g., nursing/allied health restrictions for the Nursing Research Grant).
