Research Grants Application

The application window opens September 1, 2026, and the submission deadline is January 15, 2027, at 11:59 pm (Eastern Time). 

Before you apply

Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the Instructions and Tips for submitting your ACVS Foundation research grant application.

The principal investigator (either an ACVS Diplomate or a surgery resident) must complete the Research Grant Application Workshop which focuses on the preparation of research grant proposals and provides guidance to aid in the application process. This free one-hour webinar offers one continuing education (CE) credit. The CE certificate of completion for the workshop is a required part of the application for a Diplomate Research Grant and a Surgery Resident Research Grant (available to surgery residents in the first two years at an ACVS registered residency training program). The CE certificate can be used for the current year application as well as the next two application cycles. The CE certificate must be dated no later than January 8, one week prior to the deadline.
