ASDIN Vascular Access Mentorship Program Award

About this program

The American Society of Diagnostic and Interventional Nephrology (ASDIN) offers the Vascular Access Mentorship Program Award, a one-year mentorship pairing medical students, residents, or fellows with a committee of 4–6 experienced physician-scientists who meet every two months to guide clinical or basic vascular access research, including study design, data collection, analysis, and manuscript preparation. Award benefits include a $500 travel grant for the ASDIN Annual Scientific Meeting and an $800 stipend for professional manuscript editing, with support for abstract submission and publication strategy. Applicants must be medical students, residents, or fellows willing to commit one year to the program, ideally with an interest in vascular access research and a completed research proposal; applications are due August 15 and the program begins October 1.
