Like any specialty, research is fundamental to the future of anesthesiology. Research that often might not be possible without ensuring that early career investigators have the support and guidance they need to build their skills and preliminary data for subsequent grant applications. This sentiment sits at the very core of FAER's efforts to develop the next generation of physician-scientists in anesthesiology.

Drs. Ximena and Daniel Sessler, inspired by the importance of FAER's mission, have issued a $100,000 matching gift challenge to FAER, titled Step Up for FAER. Their hope is that by stepping up themselves with such a generous gift, others will in turn be inspired to step up their support to FAER as well. Your contribution will be matched 1:1 up to $100,000, and will help establish a named endowed Mentored Research Training Grant (MRTG) focused on clinical investigators.

“Anesthesiology's rising stature is based on two foundational principles: enhancing the scientific base that underpins the care of our patients and educating the future generations of practitioners who will continue to advance the science and practice of our discipline. At the heart of these advances lies FAER which is devoted to these missions. All of us have been touched directly by FAER, or indirectly through research and career development it has provided for so many aspiring academic anesthesiologists.” Daniel I. Sessler, MD
