This observership program is given annually and awards an international scholar in a junior faculty academic position $2,000 in travel funds, complimentary registration to attend the Pre-Meeting Dissection Course, complimentary registration to attend the Annual Meeting, and an opportunity to spend one week as a Visiting Scholar and guest of a NASBS member’s institution immediately following the Annual Meeting.
Please note that every effort will be made to accommodate an observership program of the awardee’s Institution of choice. Assignments will be made based on availability.
Each grant of US $2,000 will not fully cover the expenses of attending the Annual Meeting and the observership. The grantee is expected to provide additional funds to cover these costs.
The following individuals are NOT eligible to apply for these grants:
- Citizens of the USA, Canada, or Mexico.
- Foreign nationals who have previously attended the NASBS Annual Meeting.
- Individuals who are in residency programs.
- Individuals in private practice or not in an academic position.
Applications will be reviewed by the NASBS International Committee and notifications will be sent in October. If a successful candidate has to withdraw, e.g., because of visa denial or lack of additional funding, he/she must notify the NASBS immediately in writing by email to Alondra Renteria at alondra@nasbs.org.
