CCAS Research Award

THE 2024 DOLLY D. HANSEN RESEARCH AWARD

THE DOLLY D. HANSEN RESEARCH AWARD, supported by the Congenital Cardiac Anesthesia Society (CCAS) DOLLY D. HANSEN EDUCATIONAL FUND, is intended to promote research initiatives in the field of congenital cardiac anesthesia by supporting junior members of the CCAS. This is a two-year $10,000 (USD) award that will be allocated to a research project in the field of congenital cardiac anesthesia. High-quality QI projects of importance to the field will also be considered. Preference will be given to a junior faculty member of CCAS who will be advised by an experienced mentor, also member of CCAS. It is anticipated that the funded project will generate results that can be used as pilot data or preliminary findings to support future grant applications.

Applications will be due by October 13, 2023. Draft proposals may be sent to the committee prior to August 15, 2023, for feedback. Applicants will be notified of the final results by the end of November 2023. It is mandatory that the award recipient be able to receive the award, either in person or virtually, during the CCAS Annual Meeting in 2024 to be formally recognized.

Funding will begin April 1, 2024. The $10,000 does not include coverage of indirect institutional costs. Scholarly activity generated by this award will be presented to the CCAS members at the CCAS Annual Meeting in 2026, either in person or virtually, and results are expected to be published in a peer-reviewed journal. A progress report submitted to the CCAS research committee is expected 12 months after the funding is issued (April 1, 2025).
