American Association of Neurological Surgeons Medical Student Summer Research Fellowship

AANS Medical Student Summer Research Fellowship

The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) through the Neurosurgery Research and Education Foundation (NREF) is pleased to announce the new AANS Medical Student Summer Research Fellowship (MSSRF) program.

The fellowship is open to medical students in the United States or Canada who have completed one or two years of medical school and wish to spend a summer working in a neurosurgical laboratory, mentored by a neurosurgical investigator who is a member of the AANS and will sponsor the student.

In its inaugural year of 2007, the AANS received an overwhelming number of MSSRF applications. Due to the number of interested students, the AANS has increased the number of available fellowship. This year, fifteen (15) Medical Student Summer Research Fellowships will be awarded in the amount of $2,500 per award.

To be considered for this award, applications need to be received by February 1, 2009. Awardees will be notified and posted on the AANS website by March 31, 2009.

Applications for the 2009 Fellowships will be available in July 2008!
Application Deadline February 1, 2009
