The SVS Foundation is accepting applications for the 2025 James S.T. Yao Resident Research Award

The SVS Foundation is accepting applications for the 2025 James S.T. Yao Resident Research Award, which supports emerging medical professionals researching vascular disease biology and innovative translational therapies. The application deadline is Jan. 8, 2025.

The recipient will present their research at the 2025 Vascular Annual Meeting (VAM), which takes place in New Orleans ( June 4–7), and will receive a $5,000 prize along with a one-year subscription to the Journal of Vascular Surgery (JVS).

In 2023, the award was renamed to honor the late James S.T. Yao, MD, PhD, a pioneer in vascular surgery and his contributions to the field. The change was made possible through donations from Yao’s family. He passed away in December 2022.

“The Yao Award not only supports young researchers but also highlights the importance of foundational and translational research in vascular disease,” said Kathryn L. Howe, MD, chair of the SVS Basic and Translational Research Committee. “It’s a tremendous opportunity for residents to have their work recognized on a national stage.”

Kevin D. Mangum, MD, PhD, a vascular surgery resident at the University of Michigan, received the 2024 award. Applicants must be general or vascular surgery residents or fellows enrolled in a U.S. or Canadian training program.
