Availability & Purpose of Funds
The Center for Perioperative Mental Health is awarding one pilot or feasibility project as part of its R03 program in 2023.

● The project should be broadly congruent with the Aims of the Center, but not duplicating research already being conducted by the Center, such as the ongoing R34 trials.
