Upcoming Award Application Deadlines

E. J. Wylie Memorial
Traveling Fellowship
Deadline: January 12, 2007

The E. J. Wylie Memorial Traveling Fellowship provides the recipient with the opportunity to visit a number of vascular surgery centers in the United States and abroad. Though brief, these visits stimulate academic inspiration, promote international exchange, and foster development of fraternal fellowship in vascular surgery.

The achievement of these objectives will help to enhance the development of the fellow's career in vascular surgery.

This award is not intended to support specific research interests but rather to assist the fellow in a unique opportunity for travel and professional exchange within established vascular centers in this country and abroad. The generosity of W. L. Gore \& Associates, Inc., has allowed the establishment of this fellowship. The E. J. Wylie Memorial Traveling Fellowship of the Lifeline Programs of the American Vascular Association will pay up to $12,000 for expenses of travel, research, and clerical help. The fellowship monies may not be used for other purposes. For more information, visit www.VascularWeb.org.
