NREF Post-Residency Clinical Fellowship Program
2013-2014 Applications Available Summer 2012
The NREF strongly encourages institutions to apply for funding for clinical neurosurgical fellowships with a focus on spine surgery, endovascular neurosurgery, general neurosurgery, neurocritical care, neurosurgical oncology, other cerebrovascular-related fellowships, pediatric neurosurgery, peripheral nerve surgery, and stereotactic/functional neurosurgery.
The NREF will be responsible for all aspects of the fellowship grant program, including acceptance, review and approval of fellowship grant applications. The NREF will award fellowship grants based upon established program eligibility criteria and the needs of the requesting institution.
Fully funded spine and endovascular fellowships will be up to $75,000 and all others up to $50,000 per year. For all programs, grants may be awarded in lesser amounts, depending upon the need and the support available. Fellowship grant funding is intended to cover the stipend for the fellow. Other allowable expenses include salary and benefits, education and research expenses (travel and registration fees to nationally recognized meetings/courses), books, licenses, malpractice insurance, etc.
If you have any questions about the fellowship offered through the Neurosurgery Research and Education Foundation (NREF) of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, please feel free to contact our office at 847-378-0500 or by email at nref@aans.org.
