LEADERSHIP LETTER
Your Support Sustains the Specialty
Dear Friends of FAER,
Thank you for your support of the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research. By supporting
anesthesiology research and scientific discovery, you have made possible life-enhancing advances in medicine and
improvements in patient care. You have enabled talented anesthesiologists pursuing new knowledge to transform
our specialty and our hospitals, and, most importantly, to improve lives.
In the past year, the anesthesiologists who have received FAER grants have made many achievements and
advances, and the trainees who participate in our programs have continued to pursue academic careers. Recent
highlights include:
• Creating new knowledge: FAER alumni have recently published in Anesthesiology, the Journal of the
American Medical Association, and the New England Journal of Medicine, among others.
• Establishing scientific independence: More than 50% of FAER Mentored Research Training Grant
recipients receive funding from the National Institutes of Health within five years of completing work on their
FAER grants.
• Building a pipeline for the future: FAER medical student fellow, Resident Scholar and Research Fellowship
Grant alumni are among our current grant recipients.
This is also a time of transition for FAER, and I thank you for your loyal support throughout it. In July, the FAER
office officially relocated to the American Society of Anesthesiologists® headquarters in Schaumburg, Illinois,
after calling Rochester, Minnesota, home for 20 years. In October, the FAER Board of Directors will select the next
President and CEO of the foundation who will lead us into the future.
The anesthesiologists who receive FAER grants represent the future of medicine and will bring about
improvements in patient care. The discoveries they will make throughout their careers will allow us to be better
doctors, train better doctors and provide the highest quality care imaginable.
Thank you for your generosity and ongoing support!
Sincerely,

Establishing Academic Independence
FROM FAER- TO FEDERALLY-FUNDED
Fifty-five investigators have completed work on a
FAER Mentored Research Training Grant since 2005.
Of those, 30 have received significant extramural
funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
or other federal funding source, such as the PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI).
• Thus, 54% of all MRTGs completed between 2005 and 2012 resulted in subsequent NIH or federal
funding. This funding included 17 NIH K08 awards, 6 NIH K23 awards, 9 NIH R01 awards, 2 NIH R03 awards,
2 PCORI grants, and two other types of NIH grants. Seven of the 30 investigators have received both NIH
K-level and R-level awards, and one has received two R-level awards.
• Overall, a high percentage of both FAER grant applicants and recipients apply for federal grant funding,
indicating that this group is intent in pursuing an academic career. However, a statistically significantly greater
proportion of FAER recipients have received any sort of NIH funding in their careers as compared to FAER
applicants.
• Twelve of the 21 investigators who have completed work on a FAER-funded Mentored Research Training Grant
since 2010 (within the past five years), had NIH or other significant federal funding in 2014 or 2015.

Catherine L. Chen, MD, MPH, Resident Physician, Research Scholar, University of
California San Francisco
Dr. Chen received a Research Fellowship Grant in 2013 to study unnecessary preoperative
testing of patients undergoing cataract surgery. Her findings were published in the New
England Journal of Medicine in April 2015.
“This study serves as an example of how anesthesiologists can use health services research
to contribute to the conversation about maintaining high quality healthcare while reigning
in unnecessary healthcare spending. The findings have practical implications and can have
an immediate impact on the way we care for our patients.”
Tobias Eckle, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Anesthesiology, Cardiology and Cell
Biology, University of Colorado Denver
Dr. Eckle is examining the clinical consequences of short-term circadian disturbances that
occur during surgery and anesthesia. In 2008, he received a Mentored Research Training
Grant from FAER. Immediately after that grant, he received a career development grant,
an NIH K08, from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and now continues to be
an NIH-funded anesthesiologist through a major grant, an NIH R01. His research has been
published in Anesthesiology, PlosBiolog and Nature Medicine.
“As an anesthesiologist in research, I am extremely thankful to FAER and the ASA for
providing an outstanding platform such as the MRTG that allows young anesthesiologists
to pursue a career as a physician scientist. Without your generous support, it would have
been extremely difficult to become an independent NIH R01-funded anesthesiologist.”
Renyu Liu, MD, MS, PhD, Associate Professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care,
University of Pennsylvania
Since 2008 when he began work on a FAER-funded research project examining opioids
and opioid receptor pharmacology, Dr. Liu’s research has had significant implications for
public health. As an NIH-funded physician scientist, he is working to develop alternative
tools and investigate the structural and functional relationship between opioids and the
human mu receptor. The work Dr. Liu achieved due to his FAER grant put him on a path
to receive significant funding from the NIH – first a career development grant, an NIH
K08, and in 2014, an NIH R01. The grants have helped him establish independence as an
investigator. Dr. Liu was recently promoted to Associate Professor and has published in
Anesthesiology, Brain Research and Anesthesia and Analgesia, among others.
“Such gracious support allows the advancement of our specialty and medicine. I, as a physician scientist, sincerely
appreciate such support.”

Improving Patient Care
Mark D. Neuman, MD, MS, Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care,
University of Pennsylvania
In April, the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) awarded $11.9 million in
funding to Dr. Neuman for a five-year study examining how to improve patient outcomes
after hip fractures in older adults. The study will build off of work Dr. Neuman completed
as part of his FAER-funded Mentored Research Training Grant (2010) and subsequent
career development grant, an NIH K08. Dr. Neuman’s work has been published in several
major journals including Anesthesiology, JAMA Internal Medicine, and the Journal of the
American College of Surgeons. He is the recipient of the 2015 ASA Presidential Scholar
Award.
“By comparing two universally available, basic anesthetic approaches, the REGAIN trial will directly and
immediately affect patient decision-making, care and outcomes for the more than 300,000 U.S. patients who
need surgery to treat hip fractures each year, as well as the more than 8.5 million older U.S. adults who face
decisions about anesthesia for other major surgeries each year.”
Arun Prakash, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology, University of California
San Francisco
Dr. Prakash’s research focuses on lung injury in trauma and the pathophysiology of lung
ischemia reperfusion injury. He is examining the interface between sterile and infectious
inflammation and how the innate immune system is able to distinguish between the two
and respond appropriately. His findings to date have resulted in funding that has enabled
him to start his own lab at UCSF. Dr. Prakash received a Mentored Research Training
Grant from FAER in 2010 and is continuing his research through a grant from the National
Institute of General Medical Sciences, an NIH K08. He has published in such journals as
Anesthesiology, Molecular and Cellular Biology and Nature Medicine.
“If successful, the proposed studies will benefit public health by identifying targets for therapies that can prevent
unnecessary lung damage early in trauma while preserving the immune system’s ability to fight off infections.”
Vivianne Tawfik, MD, PhD, Pain Management Fellow, Stanford University
Chronic pain is a widespread disease that costs an estimated $635 billion per year in
medical treatment and lost productivity in the United States alone. Through a FAER-funded
Mentored Research Training Grant, Dr. Tawfik is studying complex regional pain syndrome,
a form of chronic pain that can occur after mild trauma such as a fracture or minor
surgery. She is exploring how cells in the central nervous system (non-neuronal, microglial
cells) contribute to the disease. Her findings could provide an avenue for diagnosis and
personalized treatment of chronic pain. Prior to her current grant, Dr. Tawfik received a
FAER Research Fellowship Grant in 2013.
“FAER grants have been instrumental in my continued career development as an
anesthesiologist-scientist. I can’t thank the generous donors enough for providing me the opportunity to pursue
this important work that will advance our understanding of chronic pain.”
Brant Wagener, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology, University of Alabama
at Birmingham
After severe head injury, patients have an increased chance for pneumonia due to
decreased lung immune function. This is, in part, caused by chemicals released from
the brain. Through a FAER Mentored Research Training Grant, Dr. Wagener is studying
this phenomenon in order to treat or prevent this secondary pneumonia that can
cause significant organ damage and even death in patients with severe head injury. Dr.
Wagener’s MRTG is building off of the work he completed through his first FAER award, a
Research Fellowship Grant, which he received in 2013. Dr. Wagener has recently published
his findings in Anesthesiology.
“I am primarily interested in studying the secondary effects of traumatic injuries. While we as physicians do a great
job of treating patients after acute trauma, there are a variety of problems that occur after the initial problems
are stabilized. These problems lead to significant morbidity and mortality for patients. If we can understand how
and why these secondary problems occur, we can find better ways to treat or prevent them and help patients get
better more quickly and return to their daily lives sooner.”
John D. Mitchell, MD, Assistant Professor of Anesthesia, Residency Program Director,
Beth Israel Deaconess
Dr. Mitchell received a FAER Research in Education Grant in 2012 for his project,
“Enhancing Feedback on Professionalism and Interpersonal Communication in Anesthesia
Residency Programs.” Not only did his FAER grant help advance his knowledge, but
it also allowed him to develop education research skills and leadership skills, both of
which are necessary to make significant contributions to education outcomes and quality
training of the next generation of physician anesthesiologists. Through his project, he
improved his knowledge of designing and refining assessment tools in education. He has
applied this knowledge in other areas of education, including assessment of curricula in
echocardiography and assessment of resident professionalism and communication skills by patients.
“My career development has been strong as a result of the support I received from FAER for my multi-center
project on enhancing feedback to residents. The skills in education research and leadership that I have gained
during this project will enhance the quality of research I conduct and the leadership roles I undertake throughout
my career.”

HONOR YOUR MENTOR
Mentorship is an important part of building a successful and
productive career in medicine. Many FAER donors have chosen to
recognize the outstanding mentors who support and guide future
physician scientists by making tribute gifts to the foundation.
Melanie Alo, MD in memory of Dr. Lewis Coveler
“In memory of my mentor Lewis Coveler who showed me the path
toward anesthesiology when I was an undecided medical student.
Once in residency, he guided me as well, always teaching and
being supportive, bolstering my confidence. I eventually had the
honor of working with him as a member of our group of pediatric
anesthesiologists.”
Dr. Corrie T. Anderson in honor of Clyde Anderson and Ronald L.
Katz, MD
“My father was the best role model a son could have. He taught
me honesty, respect for one self and a thirst to learn and do my
best. Dr. Katz was the greatest chairman I have ever had. He did
not put limits on me and was intellectually challenging. He taught
me about more than anesthesiology – about how to be a good
leader.”
CONTRIBUTORS
Mark L. D’Agostino, MD in honor of John Patrick “Pat” O’Gara,
MD
“As a private practitioner, Pat was dedicated to learning and
teaching. In addition, his patient care was excellent. He took time
to know his patients, medically and personally.”
Melle Dalton, MD in honor of Ned Bowe, MD
“Dr. Bowe was my chairman who modeled fun competition with
joy, stories, teamly patient care and excellence in academics.”
Melle Dalton, MD in honor of Paul Eckenbrecht, MD
“As my attending, he valued and modeled kindness to patients and
attention to detail.”
Melle Dalton, MD in honor of Jeff Haladay, MD
“Modeled consistency, patience and unwavering quality of care as
my attending.”

“In ‘memory’ of my mentor Donald Clark, MD. First one-on-one
instructor, summer 1969.”
Melle Dalton, MD in honor of David Oliver, MD
“Was my attending and now a mentor modeling how to serve in
administrative ways.”
David Broussard, MD in honor of Armin Schubert, MD, MBA
“Armin’s commitment to anesthesia education and research are an
inspiration to everyone he touches. Thank you for everything you
have done for the profession!”
Melle Dalton, MD in honor of James F. Turner, MD

help trainees relax, strive to learn and how to keep a realistic
perspective of what really matters such as friends and family.”

Jean-Francios Pittet, MD
John Geiser, MD in honor of Various Mentors
Brian E. Harrington, MD in honor of Joe Neal, MD
“Not only is Joe a great mentor, encouraging others for excellence,
but he is also a perfect role model (modest, hard-working and has
intellectual integrity).”
Clyde W. Jones, MD in honor of Arthur Y. Sprague, MD, FACA
“Dr. Sprague is a consummate professional. He taught me to be
technically and clinically excellent and the importance of hard
work, dedication, confidence, self reliability and assurance.”
Gerald Kirk, MD in honor of Denham Ward, MD, PhD
“Dr. Ward was the residency program director at UCLA when I
trained there 30 years ago. His career is the perfect example for
academic anesthesiologists who aspire to combine excellence in
critical care, research, teaching and administration. Although it will
be a loss for FAER, I wish him the best in his retirement.”
Sapna Kudchadkar, MD in honor of Myron Yaster, MD

guidance, encouragement, sincerity, generosity and friendship.”
May Pian-Smith, MD, MS in honor of Warren M. Zapol, MD
Sam R. Sharar, MD in honor of Robert K. Winn, PhD

support of FAER funds the research of anesthesiologists
such as Robina Matyal, MD, (pictured right) of Beth Israel
Deaconess Medical Center who received a FAER Research
in Education Grant in 2015 to study “Fundamentals of
ultrasound course with verification of proficiency.” The
discoveries and innovations FAER grantees make will change
the way we practice medicine and care for our patients.
The FAER Legacy Society honors those who make a gift to the foundation through their estates, wills or trusts. Legacy
Society members help safeguard the future of anesthesiology by ensuring that discovery, innovation and education will
continue on behalf of the profession for which we are so deeply passionate.

Dr. Silverstein completed his medical training at the University of Extremadura in Badajoz, Spain, and his
training in anesthesiology and critical care medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, where
he worked for most of his career. He was Professor of Anesthesiology, Surgery and Geriatrics and Palliative
Medicine, Vice Chairman for Research in the Department of Anesthesiology, and Associate Dean for
Research at Mount Sinai.
Dr. Silverstein had a strong relationship to FAER. He received Research Starter Grant from FAER in 1990 and
later mentored and advised FAER medical student research fellows and FAER Resident Scholars. He and
his wife, Dr. Stacie Deiner, also made a commitment to generously support FAER in subsequent years and
became strong philanthropic advocates and volunteers.
We extend our heartfelt sympathies and condolences to Dr. Silverstein’s wife and colleague, Dr. Stacie
Deiner, his entire family and the anesthesiology community at Mount Sinai.

DEVELOPING EDUCATIONAL CURRICULUM
Christina Spofford, MD, PhD, Assistant Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology,
University of Iowa, received a FAER Mentored Research Training Grant in 2008 and
a subsequent career development grant from the National Institutes of Health, an
NIH K08, in July 2011. She is working on developing educational curriculum and
research that seeks to improve response times during operative crisis. Dr. Spofford
has published in Anesthesiology, Anesthesia & Analgesia and the Journal of Pain.
“We know that functional pain behaviors are necessary for the study of
postoperative pain and that reliance on reflexive behaviors are likely to lead to an
incomplete picture of analgesic efficacy, knowing this is important for future drug
development.”
