ASSFN Research Fellowship Award

About this program

The American Society of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery (ASSFN) offers a $200,000 Research Fellowship Award over two years to support early-career investigators pursuing research in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery, with mentorship from a senior ASSFN researcher. Applicants should be current fellows or neurosurgeons within three years of fellowship completion, with preference for domestic candidates and those at institutions with limited resources or mentorship; international applications may be considered. Applications require a cover letter, mentor support letter, CV, and three-page research proposal, with additional justification and contractual documentation for non-ASSFN mentors.
