| SIS/Wyeth/Pfizer Evaluative Research Fellowship Award Research Fellowships | Past SIS/Wyeth/Pfizer Evaluative Research Fellowship Award Recipients The SIS/Pfizer Evaluative Research Fellowship Award supports only projects dealing with the broad area of evaluative research in surgical infection. Residents or fellows who have completed at least two years of post-graduate training in a surgical discipline are eligible to apply for the SIS/Pfizer Evaluative Research Fellowship Award. (Please note that this fellowship will only be awarded as funds are available.) Research proposals should pertain to the broad area of evaluative research in surgical infection. Typical topics might include:
The sponsor must be an SIS member at the time of the application. The support will be given as a gift to the institution accepting responsibility for the research environment of the awardees. These awards must be expended solely for the purpose of the sponsored research. The award shall be used only for salary support or direct cost expenditures of the funded research project conducted in the laboratory of the SIS member, who serves as the sponsor/mentor. No part of the award may be used for indirect costs. Funding will begin July 1, 2011. Resident Fellowship awardees should not have any regularly assigned clinical duties during the Fellowship period. Surgical Infection Society Fellowship Awards are intended to be the primary source of extramural support for the applicant’s research project. Thus, the total amount of other extramural grants-in-aid supporting the Fellow’s research cannot exceed $25,000 (US). If there are any questions regarding these restrictions, the applicant or their sponsor should call or email Craig M. Coopersmith, MD, Chair of the SIS Fellowship Committee at: Craig Coopersmith, MD, FACS, FCCMPlease note that no surgical residency training program may have more than one active SIS Fellowship award in any given academic year. Renewal for second year of funding is competitive and is limited to 2 years total. Successful SIS sponsors/mentors must skip one funding period prior to sponsoring/mentoring another application. The only exception allowed will be consideration of competitive applications for the second-year renewal of an existing fellowship.
For All Fellowship Award Applicants Letters of support from the endorsers, research sponsor, and department Chairperson must be included with the application. These letters should describe the facilities available for the applicant, sources of salary support, and a guarantee of protected time. The letters should summarize the significance of this project and the applicant’s qualifications. The letter from the departmental Chairperson must indicate that no Fellowship funds will be used for overhead and that all monies provided are specifically for the Awardee’s salary and direct research costs. Absence of this letter will exclude consideration of the application.
