GRAHAM EDUCATION AND RESEARCH FOUNDATION
The Graham Education and Research Foundation supports the Evarts A. Graham Memorial Traveling Fellowship and the Research Scholarship programs. Since the inception of the Graham Traveling Fellowship program in 1951, 56 young surgeons from 29 countries have completed their training at thoracic surgery centers throughout North America. Planned Gifts to the Foundation Dr. and Mrs. Roger R. Ecker, Alameda, CA Charitable Remainder Trust For more information about planned giving, please contact the Foundation at 900 Cummings Center, Suite 221-U, Beverly, Massachusetts, 01915, or by phone at (978) 927-8330. EVARTS A. GRAHAM MEMORIAL TRAVELING FELLOWSHIP The Evarts A. Graham Memorial Traveling Fellowship was established in 1951 by the American Association for Thoracic Surgery. Funded and administered through the Graham Education and Research Foundation, it provides grants to young surgeons from abroad who have completed their formal training in general, thoracic and cardiovascular surgery. The award allows the recipient to study a year to intensify his training in a program of special interest and to travel to several sites to broaden his overall training and increase his contacts with thoracic surgeons internationally. Awards are made to surgeons of unique promise who have been regarded as having potential for later international thoracic surgical leadership. Since the inception of the Graham Fellowship, 56 young surgeons from 29 countries have completed their training at thoracic surgical centers.
RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS The American Association for Thoracic Surgery Research Scholarship was established by the Association in 1985. Funded by the Graham Education and Research Foundation, the Research Scholarship provides opportunity for research, training and experience for North American surgeons committed to pursuing an academic career in cardiothoracic surgery. The program is undertaken within the first three years after completion of an approved cardiothoracic residency and is two years in duration. 2010-2012
