The European Society of Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Therapy (ESRA) proudly presents the ESRA Research Grant in order to achieve the distinctive goals of ESRA such as
- to encourage specialisation of anaesthesiologists and other physicians in regional anaesthesia or pain management
- to promote, sponsor and encourage research in experimental, epidemiological or clinical settings regarding regional anaesthesia or pain management
- to help anaesthesiologists in under-resourced countries to develop their scientific programmes
ESRA members from all over the world are encouraged to apply. Applicants should be ESRA members and should be in at least their third year of medical specialisation.
Applications can be forwarded any time of the year to the ESRA Office.
