The PSF Pilot Research Grant (PRG) fosters plastic surgery innovation in the areas of basic science, clinical outcomes and translational research. These grants provide seed funding which is intended to allow investigators to begin work on preliminary research projects related to the plastic surgery sciences.

About PSF Pilot Research Grants

Combined Pilot Research Grants

The PSF, along with the AAHS, AAPS, ACAPS, ASMS, ASPN, ASRM, and PSRC recognize the importance of promoting innovative research in hand surgery, academic plastic surgery related to research, peripheral nerve research, microsurgery, and stimulating fundamental research in plastic surgery. Together, these subspecialty organizations are dedicated to fostering the development of surgeon scientists and are committed to increasing the amount of research dollars in order to fund pilot research studies that set the stage for investigators to apply to larger funding agencies.
