ATS Early Career Investigator Award in Pulmonary Vascular Disease

The ATS Early Career Investigator Award in Pulmonary Vascular Disease Young Investigator Program is a US-based research program that is under the umbrella of the American Thoracic Society’s Assembly on Pulmonary Circulation.

ATS Early Career Investigator Award in Pulmonary Vascular Disease is a program for basic science, translational, and clinical research in the field of cardiopulmonary medicine.

The program provides opportunities for individual young investigators to promote quality medical care and enhance patients' lives by supporting research in pulmonary hypertension (PH) related to expanding our knowledge of the pathways involved in pulmonary vascular pathobiology.

Young investigators at universities and research institutes in the United States and Canada with innovative projects and promising careers in pulmonary vascular disease have been supported by the ATS Early Career Investigator Award in Pulmonary Vascular Disease program since 2005.

Individual grants of up to $100,000 are provided to qualified investigators to conduct research on the basic mechanisms and/or vascular biology of pulmonary vascular disease via a 12-month mentored grant. Grants are awarded by the ATS Early Career Investigator Award in Pulmonary Vascular Disease Steering Committee and based on scientific merit, originality, feasibility, and applicability to the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary hypertension.
