Comments The American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH) and the American Foundation for Surgery of the Hand (AFSH) have established grant funding to encourage young investigators to perform basic science research studies. Our goal is to enable investigators to initiate pilot projects that will lead to subsequent funding from other sources such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The AFSH is committed to excellence in basic science research while maintaining the highest academic integrity and fiscal responsibility. All applications are welcome, but need to have an ASSH Active member as the principal investigator, co-investigator, or sponsor. The maximum Basic Science Grant award is $20,000 for a one-year grant.
