Eligibility
Candidate is required to be an 91ÊÓÆµmember at the time of application, be an MD (or have
equivalent degree), and be currently practicing in North America (international applications will
be considered as described below). Candidates who are delinquent on prior 91ÊÓÆµresearch grants
(e.g., progress reports) are not eligible for future 91ÊÓÆµfunding. If the candidate is a trainee, there
must be a letter from the trainee's Division Chief confirming the trainee's ongoing appointment and

position at the institution for the duration of the grant. If the trainee applicant is not guaranteed an
appointment for the duration of the grant, a contingency plan is required. Also, trainees must
include a letter of support from a research mentor.
International Eligibility
91ÊÓÆµInternational Members are eligible to apply for a Research Award (Current 91ÊÓÆµmembership
is a requirement of eligibility for grants and awards). The 91ÊÓÆµResearch Committee will consider
funding one international project for up to $50,000. The project justification should explain its
relevance to 91ÊÓÆµmembership and should explain if there are unique reasons why an international
location for the project might be more feasible than in North America. All other standards listed
above will apply to international applicants. Please contact grants@asge.org for more information
on eligibility.
