Surge in applications necessitates funding cycle changes

Newswise CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (May 31, 2011) - The Focused Ultrasound Surgery Foundation reports that its research award disbursements have exceeded $2 million and funding applications have soared in recent months.

Ever since our 2010 international symposium and our more recent Focal Drug Delivery Workshop, the Foundation has been inundated with funding applications related to MR-guided focused ultrasound, says Hannah Edelen, Research and Fellowship Program Director.

Since its inception in September 2007, the Research Awards Program has filled a funding void for MR-guided focused ultrasound researchers by providing seed money for highly promising studies. Two others have funding applications pending.

The Foundation uses an independent and multidisciplinary Research Advisory Committee to review proposals and bases funding decisions on a projects ability to rapidly advance the development of reimbursable clinical indications of MR-guided focused ultrasound.

Edelen explains that, up until now, the program has accepted applications and announced funding decisions on a rolling basis.
