Successful applicants will have a track record of medical excellence as well as a research proposal that promises advances in cardiovascular invasive/interventional techniques, said Frank Hildner, M.D., FSCAI, who chairs the SCAI committee that will review all of the submissions and select the award recipients. "Good science is the prime requisite in our evaluation," explained Dr. Hildner, "but we do have a list of ground rules we start with as we review proposals. One of those rules is a preference for human work over animal work. We try to keep the program as clinical as possible."
This program builds on previous research fellowships awarded by the Society, beginning in the late 1980s. SCAI has periodically surveyed past awardees and consistently finds that the vast majority of its fellowship recipients have continued in teaching and academic research. "Those findings support the underpinnings of the Society," noted Dr. Hildner. "Academic medicine is the basis for our mission of optimum patient care.
