Fellowships
Clinical Fellowship in Pediatric Neurosurgery
The University of Oklahoma College of Medicine Department of Neurosurgery is pleased to offer an exceptional one-year ACPNF-accredited clinical fellowship in Pediatric Neurosurgery. Clinical experience is primarily given at Oklahoma Children’s Hospital. Oklahoma Children’s Hospital is a 246-bed free-standing children’s hospital; the only free-standing children’s hospital in the state of Oklahoma servicing a pediatric population of about 1.5 million. Our fellows will attain the depth and breadth of pediatric neurosurgical cases in preparation for independent practice and an academic career.
那家伙是我们临床任命为领袖cal service, functions as a junior faculty member with admissions, consultations, and surgeries posted under the name of a supervising surgeon, and carries teaching responsibilities for our medical students and residents. The fellow is offered a robust outpatient experience working with an attending surgeon. A real-time clinical database and research core facilitates investigative endeavors, publications, and presentations. Compensation and benefits commensurate with level of training. The fellow may choose to focus on craniofacial, neuro-vascular, neuro-oncology, spine, or epilepsy/functional subspecialties.
We require our fellowship applicants to register through the San Francisco Match Program, and we request at least 3 letters of recommendation (Chairman; Residency Program Director; and another faculty mentor) in addition to an updated CV. Our deadline for application is the first Friday of August in the year of the match. We anticipate starting the interview process for the following year’s fellowship in September.

Grants
The Scoliosis Research Society Grant Award Cycle
The Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) announces its 2023 research grant award cycle. The Resident/Research Fellow Grants, which are meant to allow residents/fellows to pursue avenues of interest to prepare them for a lifelong research career, are open to all residents/fellows in good standing in an orthopedic or neurosurgery training program. The Exploratory Micro-Grant, a 1-year award of up to $2500, is meant to promote the diversity of the SRS membership and encourage members who do not typically receive major research awards to advance their creative ideas. Submission of applications for these grants opens February 1, 2023, and ends March 15, 2023.
The submission window for the following awards is also February 1 through March 15, 2023.
The Biedermann Innovation Award, a $50,000 award per approved proposal, is designed to support innovative research by young clinical investigators in the field of spine deformity. Applicants should be young active or candidate SRS members age 45 or younger at the time the award is given.
The New Investigator Research Grant, a 2-year award of up to $30,000 ($15,000 per year), is meant to stimulate younger members into a career of investigation in spine deformity. This award is open to SRS candidate fellows or investigators who have not previously received an SRS Standard Grant, Orthopaedic Research Society grant, Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation (OREF) grant, or US federal grant and have completed 10 or fewer years of practice.
The SRS-Cotrel Foundation Basic Science Research Grant, a maximum 2-year award of up to $25,000 per year (maximum $50,000), is intended to support projects that will involve work in pediatric scoliosis. Investigations of molecular and cellular mechanisms, medical imaging, and the characterization of biomechanical aspects underlying the disease are eligible for grant application.
The Standard Research Grant, an award of up to $37,000 per year (maximum $75,000 total) over a period of up to 2 years, is intended to support projects with the quality of a well-received podium presentation at the SRS Annual Meeting. These grants are expected to lay the foundation for a sustained avenue of investigation and allow the investigator(s) to seek larger grants from sources such as the National Institutes of Health or the OREF.
