Vascular Care for the Underserved (VC4U)
Through March 3, we are accepting applications for VC4U Project Grants to support initiatives designed to explore solutions to the significant disparities in vascular surgery care delivery across the U.S.
A $20,000 grant will be awarded to a SVS or SVN member for an innovative, community-based initiative that addresses the challenges faced by underserved populations affected by Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), with an emphasis on improving diagnosis, treatment, and patient education.
