The Frontiers in Anesthesia Award, created in 1995, has traditionally been a $500,000 grant. The award is granted biennially to a single anesthesia research and plays a critical role in the scientific evolution of a novel concept. The 2009 recipient, C. Michael Crowder, MD, PhD, recently discovered an entirely original mechanism for adaptation to hypoxic injury.
The 2011 award is targeted toward three key research areas, including fundamental neuroscience unknowns, immune and metabolic consequences of trauma, surgery and critical care and best use of systems-based practice to enhance patient safety.
Proposals will be evaluated by an external review board based on their creativity and relevance to the direction of the field.
