Neurosurgery Research and Education Foundation Grants, Awards and Fellowships
As a premier funder of neurosurgical studies, the Neurosurgery Research and Education Foundation (NREF) of the American Association of Neurosurgeons (ANS) focuses on providing fellowship funding in basic neuroscience and neurosurgical programs in North America.
The NREF strongly encourages research projects from all fields of neurosurgery. The more research that is conducted, the better chance we have to SAVE LIVES in the future.
The NREF sponsors two neurosurgical research grant programs annually:
* Research Fellowship – Open to residents only, the Research Fellowship is offered as a one-year research project grant of $40,000.
* Young Clinician Investigator Award – Designed to support young neurosurgeons pursuing careers as clinician investigators, the Young Clinician Investigator Award is open to junior faculty for a one-year grant of $40,000.
The NREF endorses the submission of applications for both patient-orientated clinical research and basic science research. Applications from all neurosurgical areas of focused practice are encouraged. Application submission deadline for 2011 research opportunities is October 31, 2010.
These focus areas include...
* Head trauma and brain injury
* Tumors
* Spine-related conditions mechanics, diseases, tumors, injury, repair techniques, etc.
* Cerebrovascular disease
* Pain management
* Stroke
