About ASA Foundation Fellowship Research

Fellows will be supported in an initial year; the Fellowship can be renewed by review of the Fellowship Committee for a succeeding one-year period. During the Fellowship years, the Awardee should have a primary role in research and teaching. It is expected that the Fellow will have a faculty position following the Fellowship in the Department of Surgery of the sponsoring institution.
