In October 1986, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) approved the formation of the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER). The purpose of FAER is "to stimulate, develop, promote, authorize, commission or contract for, and finance education and research in subjects germane to the provision of anesthesia care and perioperative medicine." As federal funding for scientific research has become increasingly competitive, FAER's role in the support and development of academic anesthesiologists has grown. FAER has two application deadlines each year; February 15th and August 15th.
