The Fellowship Grant covers in part a two-week travel period and pays a grant to the Fellow’s institution of $5,000 ($2,500 each from the ASA and SAAS). The Fellowship grant is ideally suited for mid-level or senior academic surgeons with leadership training who seek a future leadership role and are at the stage in their career to benefit from exposure to a leadership shadowing experience. In addition, the ASA will also provide complimentary registration to the ASA Annual Meeting to the Fellowship grant recipient, who will be responsible for their own airfare, ground transportation, and other travel-related expenses for the ASA meeting in the year of their Fellowship.

Nominations are due October 13th. Three names will be sent to the ASA by November 10th; the ASA will then select a primary Fellow and an alternate by December 1st and notify the candidates and SAAS.
