American Venous Forum Announces BSN-Jobst Research Grant 2016 Winner

The American Venous Forum (AVF) selected one resident physician member per year to receive the prestigious BSN-JOBST Research Grant. The BSN-JOBST Research Grant provides a $100,000 research grant ($50,000 per year for two years) chosen through a competitive peer review selection process.

Milwaukee, WI, January 07, 2016 --(PR.com)-- The American Venous Forum would like to publicly congratulate Maxim Shaydakov, MD, PhD from the University of Michigan on receiving the 2016 BSN-JOBST Research Grant.

AVF Foundation with BSN Medical is pleased to provide the BSN-Jobst Research Gran. A $100,000 grant for original, basic or clinical research in venous or lymphatic disease. The competition is open to residents, fellows in a vascular training program, as well as physicians who have completed their training within the past five (5) years.

Conrad Jobst dedicated his life and expertise to the development of gradient compression garments to better relieve the symptoms of venous disease. Mr. Jobst suffered from vascular disease, and his initial line of elastic “stockings” has now evolved into an extensive portfolio of advanced wound care and compression therapy products for the treatment of venous and lymphatic diseases. In 1995, in association with the American Venous Forum, BSN-JOBST initiated the BSN-JOBST Research Fellowship in Venous and Lymphatic Diseases to further Conrad’s legacy of innovation. For almost 20 years, the research developed by grant recipients has helped advance the understanding and treatment of vein diseases.

American Venous Forum and BSN medical invite those interested in applying for the 2017 Research Fellowship to submit an application for consideration. Application for the 2017 grant will be available this fall.
