APSA Foundation Grants
The APSA Foundation (APSAF) offers a variety of grant opportunities to its members, and in some cases, other surgeon scientists sponsored by members.
James A. O’Neill, Jr. Global Pediatric Surgery Scholarship
APSA has a commitment to the surgical care of children worldwide. The Board of Governors of APSA and the Foundation have collaborated to establish a new Global Scholarship Program to promote the development of meaningful research approaches in resource-constrained environments. APSA and the Foundation are proud to offer this new opportunity for members to respond to the pediatric surgical needs of low- and middle-income countries.
Jay Grosfeld, MD Scholar Grant
Although historically the Foundation has given support to Grosfeld surgeon scholars, due to increasing interest from APSA membership and in line with its mission, APSAF has created a funding opportunity for educational projects. This grant is intended to fund projects that will promote educational scholarship, including exploring enhancements in pediatric surgical training and education. Proposals are also encouraged that provide members of APSA, including trainees and APPs, an opportunity to expand their core surgical knowledge and improve their skills and training.
Education Grant
Although historically the Foundation has given support to Grosfeld surgeon scholars, due to increasing interest from APSA membership and in line with its mission, APSAF has created a funding opportunity for educational projects. An educational project is a discrete activity that will provide members of APSA (surgeons in training, actively practicing surgeons, advanced practice providers) an opportunity to expand their core surgical knowledge and improve their skills and training.
