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.

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

Funding Amount and Duration: $300,000 over two years

Minimum Required Research Time: 60%

Application Deadlines: February 15 and August 15

AI Based Application Success Predictor

1. Potential to Become an Independent Investigator

FAER's mission is to develop future leaders in anesthesiology research. Reviewers heavily evaluate whether the applicant can progress from mentored funding to independent funding and a sustained academic research career.

2. Outstanding Mentor and Mentorship Team

Mentorship is among the strongest predictors of success. Experienced mentors with successful funding histories, strong publication records, and demonstrated mentorship success substantially strengthen applications. A review of FAER grant evaluation discussions highlights mentor quality, mentorship team, and training environment as key determinants of successful applications.

3. Strong Scientific Merit

Successful proposals generally include:

Important research questions
Rigorous methodology
Clear hypotheses
Appropriate statistical approaches
Well-defined milestones

Scientific quality remains a central review criterion across FAER mechanisms.

4. Strong Publication Record

Reviewers often ask whether applicants have demonstrated prior research productivity through:

Peer-reviewed publications
First-author manuscripts
Conference presentations
Prior research accomplishments

Applicants with evidence of scholarly productivity tend to be more competitive.

5. Excellent Research Environment

Competitive applications usually come from institutions that provide:

Strong research infrastructure
Established investigators
Core facilities
Biostatistical support
Access to collaborators

Reviewers assess whether the environment can effectively support career development and project completion.

6. Clear Career Development Plan

FAER grants are not solely project awards—they are career-development awards. Successful applications clearly describe:

Training goals
New skills to be acquired
Transition toward independence
Long-term research objectives

Career-development plans are especially important for MRTG and fellowship-type mechanisms.

7. Departmental Commitment and Protected Time

FAER emphasizes protected research effort. For example, the MRTG requires substantial protected research time. Strong chair letters and departmental commitment significantly strengthen applications because they demonstrate institutional investment in the applicant's future.

8. Relevance to Anesthesiology

Successful projects generally have clear relevance to:

Anesthesiology
Perioperative medicine
Critical care
Pain medicine
Patient safety
Medical education

Projects should contribute directly to advancing the specialty.

9. Preliminary Data and Feasibility

While FAER supports early-career investigators, reviewers still value:

Preliminary results
Demonstrated feasibility
Pilot data
Established methodologies

Strong feasibility increases confidence that proposed aims can be achieved during the award period.

10. Pathway to Future Federal Funding

A major objective of FAER funding is helping investigators become competitive for:

NIH K awards
NIH R01 grants
Department of Defense grants
Other major foundation funding

Applications that clearly serve as a bridge toward larger independent funding opportunities are viewed favorably.

Frequently Funded Research Themes

Recent FAER-funded projects commonly involve:

Perioperative outcomes research
Artificial intelligence and predictive analytics
Patient safety
Critical care medicine
Pain medicine
Education research
Health services research
Precision perioperative medicine
Monitoring technologies
Clinical decision-support systems

Funding Strategy

A highly competitive FAER application typically includes:

A strong publication record relative to career stage.
An outstanding mentor and mentorship team.
A rigorous, feasible research plan.
Strong departmental commitment and protected research time.
Clear anesthesiology relevance.
A detailed pathway toward becoming an independent investigator.
Potential for future NIH or equivalent external funding.
