Research Award of the Advancement of Phlebology

Purpose

The purpose of the JOBST Research Award of the Advancement of Phlebology is to stimulate research in the expanding specialty of phlebology. Through this award, we aim to fund projects directed at wound healing (value of compression), edema/lymphedema management, venous hemodynamics with compression, comparative studies with various sclerosants, ambulatory phlebectomy, venous surgery and vascular malformations.

Eligibility

Applicants must complete and submit the application by the designated deadline. Award recipients must be available to attend the Annual Congress to present their research on the approved topic. Acceptance of the award also includes approval to publish results in Phlebology, the official journal of the American College of Phlebology.

Award

$15,000 ($2,400 per month for quarterly or as scheduled, depending on timeline, plus a $3,000 stipend for presentation at the November Annual Congress)

Application

• Application Deadline: May 1, 2012
• Presentation: Present research at the November Annual Congress of the American College of Phlebology following the application acceptance
• Publication: Results may be published in Phlebology, the official journal of the American College of Phlebology
