Research and Scholarship
As the research arm of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, PSEF's mission is to develop and support the domestic and international education, research and public service activities of plastic surgeons. The PSEF is dedicated to supporting plastic surgery research and the development of the field by funding scientific research on plastic surgery through a variety of grant programs.
PSEF accomplishes its mission of ensuring the well being and future of plastic surgery by providing invaluable support to the research of plastic surgery sciences, and also to surgeons who volunteer abroad to help the impoverished.
Both plastic surgeons and members of the public can support research through donations to the Endowment and the PSEF.
