About the Wylie Scholar Award

FAVR's annual Wylie Scholar award consists of a three-year, $150,000 grant given to the most promising vascular surgeon-scientists in North America who are dedicated to an academic career involving original novel research.

Every FAVR dollar awarded has been leveraged nearly 13-fold by award recipients through additional permanent funding.
