SVS Foundation Student Research Fellowship
The SVS Foundation Student Research Fellowship stimulates laboratory and clinical vascular research by undergraduate college students and medical school students registered at universities in the US and Canada.
Successful applications are hypothesis-focused and achievable in the research period proposed. Projects supported by this award include basic science and translational research conducted by a vascular surgeon-scientist mentor and clinical research projects conducted under the auspices of a mentor experienced in clinical research.

Vascular Surgery History Facts
Did you know that the first synthetic graft used to replace the human aorta was made from vinyon-N cloth, left over from making World War II parachutes? After an accidental discovery, Dr. Voorhees began experimenting with vinyon to develop an effective synthetic artery.
Read the Journal for Vascular Surgery article, "Breakthrough: Arthur Blakemore and Arthur Voorhees, Jr" for an account of the event from Dr. Sheldon Levin.
