The ASMBS Research Grant Award program was initiated in 2004 to encourage research in the field of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. The program has been primarily supported by the ASMBS Foundation, which has provided over 1 million research dollars since its inception.
The program has been managed on behalf of the society by the ASMBS Research Committee members who have worked tirelessly each year to review the many grant proposals submitted. This booklet was compiled by the Committee Chairman Ranjan Sudan, MD and highlights the research produced from all funded grant projects to date.
