The Grass Foundation supports 8-10 scientific investigators early in their career to research for 14 weeks in the summer at the Marine Biology Laboratory (MBL). MBL is located in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, in the southwest corner of Cape Cod. Grass Fellowships give the resources for scientists to conduct independent research. These Fellowships provide research support including laboratory space, animals, equipment and supplies for 1 summer. Fellows will academically and socially connect with each other in the MBL and the Grass Laboratory. The Foundation also has a longstanding interest in epilepsy-related research. The fellowship usually runs from late May to late August.
Eligibility & Requirements
