The ACS is accepting applications for the 2023 Joan L. and Julius H. Jacobson II Promising Investigator Award through Tuesday, February 28, 2023.
The JPIA was established to recognize outstanding surgeons who are engaging in research, advancing the art and science of surgery, and demonstrating early promise of significant contribution to the practice of surgery and the safety of surgical patients. The award is supported through a generous endowed fund established by the donors and administered by the ACS Surgical Research Committee.
Special consideration will be given to surgeons who are at the "tipping point" of their research careers, with a track record indicative of early promise and potential (for example, a degree program in research or a K award).
Visit the JPIA web page for complete details on award criteria and nomination details. Contact Jorge Hernandez, Project Coordinator, ACS Division of Research and Optimal Patient Care–Continuous Quality Improvement, at jacobsonpia@facs.org for more information.
