26th Annual Alice Magaw Clinical Anesthesia Practitioner AwardJames M. Temo, CRNA, MSN, MBA

When I attended past AANA Banquet awards ceremonies, I could only imagine what the honored individuals were experiencing at the time they were recognized. I personally knew many of the recipients and believed our organization was on target to acknowledge their notable contributions to our profession. I sensed too, that when these people knew of their good fortune of being named for this award, they must have had a tremendous feeling of pride in what they do. Nonetheless, the award

seemed like it would be a fantastic experience to have on AANA Banquet night. Now I know what it means. It is an amazing, exhilarating event that will always be with me.

Although I have taught anesthesia history to many students in the past and spoke of Alice Magaw in that context, I was moved to search for more information about her and her work with the Mayo brothers. The brothers apparently found Alice Magaw’s contributions to be “peerless” as referenced in a description of her professional life. I too, wish I could be considered in that same framework, but know better and recognize that this award is an incredible honor I share with many anesthesia friends and colleagues...my peers. The anesthetists and anesthesiologists I have met and worked with during my career have challenged me, confided in me, confounded me and changed me in ways that I believe made me a better person. I hope this is consistent with this award. If what I have been fortunate enough to accomplish as a clinician reflects the values and ideals that Ms. Magaw and the Mayo brothers discovered, then I find this hoor even more personally rewarding as a part of our professional history. Once again, I recognize the award reflects the consideration and thoughtfulness of friends and colleagues who made this possible and believed in me. They themselves are superb educators, administrators, and practitioners who view each day as an opportunity to make a difference, and as we used to say in the Army, “another opportunity to excel.”

I especially thank Colonel John Sherner, my best friend and colleague, Colonel George Haag, my teacher and professional confidant, Brigadier General Bill Bester, my fabulous friend who always exudes positive thinking regardless of any situation, Ms. Meri Gilman-Mays, Duke Medical Center Chief Nurse Anesthetist who is leader of a brilliantly challenging and talented group of nurse anesthetists, and Mary, my wonderful, beautiful, tolerant wife for shaping whatever it was that led to me receiving this honor.

Request for Proposals: Society for Ambulatory Anesthesia 2011 Outcomes Research Award

Society for Ambulatory Anesthesia 2011 Outcomes Research Award - $100,000 Two-Year Grant Submission. Deadline: November 30, 2011.

The Society for Ambulatory Anesthesia (SAMBA) announces this Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit exceptional clinical research for the purpose of elevating the quality of patient care in ambulatory

anesthesiology. Additional goals of SAMBA at this time include catalyzing high-quality research in ambulatory anesthesia and increasing the quantity and quality of publications in the field of ambulatory anesthesia.

Grant Overview

The DREAM Innovation Grant (DIG) supports innovative high-risk, and potentially high-reward investigations to accelerate anesthesia and pain management research.

Research deemed innovative may introduce a new paradigm, challenge current paradigms, look at existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit other uniquely creative qualities. The DIG promotes new ideas; therefore, proposals need not include preliminary data. However, a solid rationale for the work must be provided. Proposed work should not be the next logical step of previous work, but should have a high probability of revealing new avenues of investigation. This program aims to provide pilot funding that will lead to successful competition for additional funding beyond the pilot period. The research concept, scientific team, and explicit plans for how this work will lead to follow-on funding will be the primary criteria for judging. These points should be specifically addressed in the application.

The principal investigator (PI) is responsible for clearly and explicitly articulating the project’s innovation and the potential impact on anesthesia and pain management research.

Eligibility

All faculty members of the Department of Anesthesiology at Duke are eligible to apply. One of the grants will be reserved to support a beginning scientist (within 5 years of completion of residency or fellowship) by encouraging and adequately funding projects that can contribute to bridging the gap between training and progression to independent investigator status. The other

award(s) will be used as a seed grant to help investigators with promising science obtain preliminary data to support follow-on funding applications.

Funding

A maximum of $30,000 will be awarded to each recipient. None of the funds awarded are to pay for faculty salary or overhead expenses. The number of grant recipients and grant amount will be determined by the DREAM Innovation Grant Committee after all applications have been received. Application and Deadline

Applications and questions should be submitted to David S. Warner, M.D. at [email protected].

1. A Statement of Intent (Deadline July 28, 2011): a. Abstract (150 word max) b. Preliminary Budget (Budgets should not include salary support for a faculty, resident, or fellow) c. NIH formatted Biosketch

2. NIH R03-like Application Format (Deadline September 6, 2011): i.e., up to 1 page for Specific Aims and up to 6 pages for the background, preliminary data and/or rationale, experimental plan, description of roles of scientific team members, timeline for milestones and completion, and definition of plans to advance work beyond this funding interval (all pages single-spaced, 11 point Arial font). Applications should include NIH biosketches of all participants.

3. Winners will be announced October 16, 2011 during the ASA Alumni Reception.
