NOTES/NOSCAR® Grants Awarded
Ethicon Endo-Surgery Supports Groundbreaking Research

The Natural Orifice Surgery Consortium for Assessment and Research (NOSCAR)® Research Subcommittee announced 13 recipients of its first research grants. The funds, granted by Ethicon Endo-Surgery, support fundamental research in an emerging transdisciplinary therapy known as Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES)®, an approach that could ultimately represent a major paradigm shift in minimally invasive therapy and patient care.

More than 80 requests were submitted for the nearly $1,000,000 in research funds. The recipients were notified in early January and will conduct their research in the months ahead. Additional grant opportunities will be announced; visit www.noscar.org regularly for information.
