The Grass Fellowship Program

With these Fellowships, The Grass Foundation encourages independent research by investigators early in their careers and increases research opportunities for persons planning careers in neurobiological investigation.

Supported approaches include neurophysiology, biophysics, integrative neurobiology, neuroethology, neuroanatomy, neuropharmacology, systems neuroscience, cellular and developmental neurobiology, and computational approaches to neural systems.

The Foundation also has a longstanding interest in epilepsy-related research.

Grass Fellowships at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) support investigator-designed, independent research projects.

While sharing space in the Grass Laboratory (Grass Lab), Fellows function as an intellectual and social group within the MBL community.

A weekly seminar series provides an opportunity for the Fellows to invite eminent investigators at the MBL to discuss their work.

In addition, the Forbes Lecturer, a prominent neuroscientist who is chosen annually, spends a portion of the summer in the Grass Lab interacting closely with Fellows.
