The Lifeline Foundation/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute William J. von Liebig Mentored Clinical Scientist Development (K08) Award program was established as a unique partnership to support vascular surgeon-scientists. Between 1999 and 2005, 39 applications were submitted, and the overall funding rate was 49% (14 von Liebig K08s and 5 additional NHLBI K08s). Vascular surgeon K08 recipients (median age, 38 years) had held faculty appointments for 2.5 +/- 0.4 years, with 2.6 +/- 0.2 years of previous research experience and 28.4 +/- 6.2 publications. These individuals subsequently authored 5.1 +/- 0.8 peer-reviewed publications per recipient per year, of which 35% were research and 65% were clinical. Six of seven holding the K08 over 3 years had received academic promotion, and all five completing the 5-year award had achieved independent investigator status with National Institutes of Health support. The von Liebig K08 program has therefore been an effective vehicle to stimulate research career development in the field of vascular surgery.
生命线基金会/国家心肺血液研究所威廉·J·冯·利比格指导临床科学家发展（K08）奖计划是作为一种独特的合作关系设立的，旨在支持血管外科科学家。1999年至2005年期间，共提交了39份申请，总体资助率为49%（14项冯·利比格K08奖和另外5项美国国立卫生研究院K08奖）。血管外科K08奖获得者（中位年龄38岁）担任教职的时间为2.5±0.4年，之前有2.6±0.2年的研究经验，发表了28.4±6.2篇论文。这些获奖者随后每人每年发表5.1±0.8篇经同行评审的论文，其中35%是研究论文，65%是临床论文。在持有K08奖超过3年的7人中，有6人获得了学术晋升，所有完成5年奖项的5人在国立卫生研究院的支持下获得了独立研究者身份。因此，冯·利比格K08奖计划是促进血管外科领域研究职业发展的有效途径。
