Mentored Research Training Grants

Foundation for Anesthesia Education & Research

Mentored Research Training Grants (MRTG) help anesthesiologists develop the skills, preliminary data for subsequent grant applications, and research publications needed to become independent investigators.

NOTE: Beginning with the Fall 2025 Grant Cycle, applications for which open June 1, 2025, FAER is introducing changes to the MRTG in the form of an 18-month pilot program. Changes entail an increase in funding from $250,000 to $300,000 and a reduction in the minimum required protected time from 75% to 60%. For more information, view the full announcement here.

Research Areas: All areas of research that contribute to advances in patient care and can lead to sustained extramural research will be considered, including basic science, clinical, translational, health services, and education research
