26th Annual Alice Magaw Clinical
Anesthesia Practitioner Award
James M. Temo, CRNA, MSN, MBA
When I attended past AANA Banquet
awards ceremonies, I could only
imagine what the honored individuals
were experiencing at the time they
were recognized. I personally
knew many of the recipients and
believed our organization was on
target to acknowledge their notable
contributions to our profession. I
sensed too, that when these people
knew of their good fortune of being
named for this award, they must have
had a tremendous feeling of pride in
what they do. Nonetheless, the award
seemed like it would be a fantastic experience to have on AANA Banquet
night. Now I know what it means. It is an amazing, exhilarating event that
will always be with me.
Although I have taught anesthesia history to many students in the past
and spoke of Alice Magaw in that context, I was moved to search for
more information about her and her work with the Mayo brothers. The
brothers apparently found Alice Magaw’s contributions to be “peerless” as
referenced in a description of her professional life. I too, wish I could be
considered in that same framework, but know better and recognize that
this award is an incredible honor I share with many anesthesia friends and
colleagues...my peers. The anesthetists and anesthesiologists I have
met and worked with during my career have challenged me, confided in
me, confounded me and changed me in ways that I believe made me a
better person. I hope this is consistent with this award. If what I have
been fortunate enough to accomplish as a clinician reflects the values
and ideals that Ms. Magaw and the Mayo brothers discovered, then I find
this hoor even more personally rewarding as a part of our professional
history. Once again, I recognize the award reflects the consideration and
thoughtfulness of friends and colleagues who made this possible and
believed in me. They themselves are superb educators, administrators,
and practitioners who view each day as an opportunity to make a
difference, and as we used to say in the Army, “another opportunity to
excel.”
I especially thank Colonel John Sherner, my best friend and colleague,
Colonel George Haag, my teacher and professional confidant, Brigadier
General Bill Bester, my fabulous friend who always exudes positive
thinking regardless of any situation, Ms. Meri Gilman-Mays, Duke
Medical Center Chief Nurse Anesthetist who is leader of a brilliantly
challenging and talented group of nurse anesthetists, and Mary, my
wonderful, beautiful, tolerant wife for shaping whatever it was that led to
me receiving this honor.

Grant Overview
The DREAM Innovation Grant (DIG) supports
innovative high-risk, and potentially high-reward
investigations to accelerate anesthesia and pain
management research.
Research deemed innovative may introduce a new
paradigm, challenge current paradigms, look at
existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit
other uniquely creative qualities. The DIG promotes
new ideas; therefore, proposals need not include
preliminary data. However, a solid rationale for
the work must be provided. Proposed work should
not be the next logical step of previous work, but
should have a high probability of revealing new
avenues of investigation. This program aims to
provide pilot funding that will lead to successful
competition for additional funding beyond the pilot
period. The research concept, scientific team, and
explicit plans for how this work will lead to followon
funding will be the primary criteria for judging.
These points should be specifically addressed in
the application.
The principal investigator (PI) is responsible for
clearly and explicitly articulating the project’s
innovation and the potential impact on anesthesia
and pain management research.
Eligibility
All faculty members of the Department of
Anesthesiology at Duke are eligible to apply.
One of the grants will be reserved to support a
beginning scientist (within 5 years of completion
of residency or fellowship) by encouraging and
adequately funding projects that can contribute to
bridging the gap between training and progression
to independent investigator status. The other
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
DREAM Innovation Grant (DIG)
award(s) will be used as a seed grant to help
investigators with promising science obtain
preliminary data to support follow-on funding
applications.
Funding
A maximum of $30,000 will be awarded to each
recipient. None of the funds awarded are to pay
for faculty salary or overhead expenses. The
number of grant recipients and grant amount
will be determined by the DREAM Innovation
Grant Committee after all applications have been
received.
Application and Deadline
Applications and questions should be submitted to
David S. Warner, M.D. at david.warner@duke.edu.
1. A Statement of Intent (Deadline July 28, 2011):
a. Abstract (150 word max)
b. Preliminary Budget (Budgets should not
include salary support for a faculty, resident, or
fellow)
c. NIH formatted Biosketch
2. NIH R03-like Application Format (Deadline
September 6, 2011): i.e., up to 1 page for Specific
Aims and up to 6 pages for the background,
preliminary data and/or rationale, experimental
plan, description of roles of scientific team
members, timeline for milestones and completion,
and definition of plans to advance work beyond
this funding interval (all pages single-spaced, 11
point Arial font). Applications should include NIH
biosketches of all participants.
3. Winners will be announced October 16, 2011
during the ASA Alumni Reception.
