AVF-JOBST Research Grant in Venous and Lymphatic Disease
In 1995, the American Venous Forum Foundation announced the establishment of the AVF-JOBST Research Grant in Venous and Lymphatic Disease. The AVF-JOBST Research Grant provides a two-year grant to a research fellow chosen through a competitive peer-review selection process. The AVF Research Committee determines the award recipient and announces its selection during the awards session of the Annual Meeting. The grant award is $85,000.00, which is distributed over two years.
