2005 Travelling Fellowships

In keeping with the principal goals of the SSA, which include promoting research into stroke, the SSA calls for applications for the Overseas Travelling Fellowship/Study Scholarship, as support for a young researcher seeking research experience overseas. The $5000 fellowship is intended to defray the costs of travel and accommodation.

Both medical and non-medical members of the SSA are encouraged to apply for these short (one month) and long term (one year) fellowships. Eligibility criteria and further requirements are available here.
