ASCFS/Komedyplast research grant applications due March 1
The American Society of Craniofacial Surgery (ASCFS) and Komedyplast encourage all craniofacial researchers to submit an application for the ASCFS/Komedyplast research grant.
The Komedyplast Craniofacial Research Grant Program was established in cooperation with the ASCFS to provide annual grants for clinical and basic science research that strives to elucidate mechanisms of craniofacial pathogenesis and develop strategies to treat resultant craniofacial anomalies.
Each Komedyplast Craniofacial research grant recipient will be awarded up to $5,000. The Grant Review Committee will determine the number of recipients and the exact dollar amounts. Grant applications are available on the ASCFS website and will be accepted through March 1.
Research emanating from the grants should help explain and clarify mechanisms of craniofacial pathology and assist in the development of treatment strategies, which will help Komedyplast in its international mission to treat patients with congenital craniofacial anomalies.
The grant will be presented during the ASCFS Annual Meeting, April 20-21, in San Jose, Calif.
Komedyplast, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, provides a unique approach to the international care of children afflicted with congenital craniofacial anomalies. The launch of the Komedyplast Craniofacial Research Grant represents a major step forward for Komedyplast, supporting its triad mission of treatment, training, and research.
