The Educational Foundation of the CSPS created the $10,000.00 Clinical Research Endowment Fund in 1996, to:

• provide seed funding to stimulate clinically applied research in all areas of plastic surgery
• support our membership in performing clinical outcomes research that will have important implications for health care policy affecting our specialty
• specifically encourage the involvement of community-based plastic surgeons in such research
• address outcomes of our patients to further improve quality of care and standardize our clinical practice guideline

Eligibility: 1) A Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons member in an academic center in the first five years of practice; 2) a CSPS member at any time in a community practice; 3) a Resident/Fellow in a Canadian Plastic Surgery training program.

In 2004, Clinical Studies also became eligible for the Grant.

The deadline to apply for the 2025 Outcome/Clinical Study Research Grant is May 9, 2025.
