Grants

With the aim of supporting basic scientific and clinical research in the fields of local anaesthetic pharmacology, surgery, obstetrics and pain management, ESRA offers 2 different Grant programmes:


🔬 ESRA Research Grant

The European Society of Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Therapy (ESRA) proudly presents the ESRA Research Grant in order to achieve the distinctive goals of ESRA such as

  • to encourage specialisation of anaesthesiologists and other physicians in regional anaesthesia or pain management
  • to promote, sponsor and encourage research in experimental, epidemiological or clinical settings regarding regional anaesthesia or pain management
  • to help anaesthesiologists in under-resourced countries to develop their scientific programmes

ESRA members from all over the world are encouraged to apply. Applicants should be ESRA members and should be in at least their third year of anaesthesia specialisation or enrolled in a regional anaesthesia PhD programme.

Applications can be forwarded any time of the year to the ESRA Office.

Two ESRA Research Grants were awarded in 2022:

  • Ludovic Beun – Analgesic efficacy of IPACK versus selective tibial nerve block in patients scheduled for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with an adductor canal block: a randomized controlled double-blinded trial.
  • Aneurin Moorthy – Ultrasound Guided, Continuous Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) Block in Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgery: Comparing Programmed Intermittent Bolus (PIB) vs Continuous
    Infusion on Quality of Recovery and Postoperative Respiratory Function.

🎓 ESRA Educational Grant

  • to encourage specialisation of anaesthesiologists and other physicians in regional anaesthesia or pain management
  • to promote and sponsor courses and workshops
  • to encourage teaching of regional anaesthesia in anaesthesiology training programmes
  • to help anaesthesiologists in under resourced countries

Applicants should be ESRA members, have spent a minimal amount of time in their specialty, and be  in at least their third year of medical specialisation.
