The PSF Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Research Grant is intended to support plastic surgeons in pursuing research in aesthetic/cosmetic plastic surgery. Eligible applicants include surgeons at all stages of their careers including residents, fellows, junior faculty and advanced academicians, as well as early career to advanced practitioners in a variety of settings including private, employed, group and academic practice physicians. Applicants must be a MD, DO, or PhD and hold a full or part-time clinical or research position where the research will be conducted. Applicants must also be an Active, Candidate, International, or Associate member of ASPS or obtain sponsorship from an Active ASPS member at their institution. This is a requirement if the applicant is currently in their training. For multiple PIs, a sponsor is required for only the applying PI. ASPS Associate Members may apply with identified ASPS Sponsor. Proposals should address aesthetic/cosmetic research topics and include focused research questions. The goals of the research may range from pilot projects to collect preliminary data to support larger future grant proposals, up to more advanced research questions that may lead to findings and results to have a more immediate impact on patient care. The PSF encourages new research concepts and novel ideas. Subject areas may include but are not limited to the following most common contemporary procedures in aesthetic plastic surgery: breast augmentation, liposuction, nose reshaping, eyelid surgery, tummy tuck and facelift. All Co-PIs, Co-Investigators and Collaborators must submit an original Letter of Support for their involvement in the applicant's research project. Letters of Support are addressed to the applicant and should describe the Co-PI/Co-Investigator/Collaborator's credibility, intended contribution, role, commitment, and provide support for the work being proposed. If the Sponsor is also serving as a Co-PI, Co-Investigator or Collaborator, then the Sponsor Letter and Letter of Support can be combined. The Sponsor should indicate that they are also serving as a Co-PI, Co-Investigator or Collaborator for the project. A separate letter from each Co-PI/CoInvestigator/Collaborator is required.
