Donate Now

Your donation to the Institute for Basic and Applied Research in Surgery (IBARS) directly fuels early‑stage surgical research and ultimately leads to major clinical breakthroughs.

Core impact of your gift
Your donation helps provide initial research funding to promising young surgical investigators. IBARS has been investing in surgical research since 1984 with the goal of helping researchers secure larger National Institutes of Health (NIH) or corporate grants that sustain long‑term scientific progress.

What your support makes possible

• Funding for surgical residents and fellows working on oncology, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, and other high‑impact clinical questions.

• Outcomes‑based research that improves patient decision‑making, quality of life, and treatment pathways.

• Equity‑focused studies, such as examining disparities in breast cancer genomic testing.

• International and mission‑based research efforts, supported through IBARS grantmaking.

IBARS is a 501(c)(3) with a mission to support young surgical investigators across North America. Donations are tax‑deductible to the extent of the law and directly aligned with that mission.
