The Paul LoGerfo Research Award
Application Deadline
Monday, February 15, 2010 - 11:59PM
The Paul LoGerfo Research Award (PLRA) was developed
to honor the life of Paul LoGerfo who made numerous
major contributions to the field of endocrine
surgery during his esteemed career. Dr LoGerfo
passed away from malignant melanoma in 2003 during
the peak of his career while serving as President of
the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons.
The mission of the PLRA is to enrich the
discipline of endocrine surgery and to advance the
careers of junior investigators who are interested
in a career in academic endocrine surgery. These
goals will be pursued by supporting grant proposals
that will broaden the horizon of endocrine surgery
and advance the career-goals of junior endocrine
surgeons. The PLRA welcomes proposals for support
of a wide spectrum of research topics including
surgical ethics, education, epidemiology,
biostatistics, health care delivery, as well as
clinical or basic science research pertaining to the
field of endocrine surgery. The PLRA may be used
for bridge or supplemental funding for research
protocols with existing funding.
