SNO International Outreach Research Fellowship
With generous support from the American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA) and EMD Serono, the Society for Neuro-Oncology has established a new International Outreach Research Fellowship. The purpose of this one-year fellowship is to provide a program for professionals from outside North America to perform clinical, translational or basic research in the area of pediatric or adult neuro-oncology in a clinical and/or laboratory setting in the United States or Canada. One fellowship award will be made in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Applications for the next funding cycle will be available on this site in mid-May, 2010.

Reduced Subscription to Neuro-Oncology
In partnership with Duke University Press, SNO has extended the availability of our journal, Neuro-Oncology, with discounted subscriptions to individuals, academic centers and hospitals in countries of low per capita GNP. Developing country membership in the Society for Neuro-Oncology includes an electronic-only subscription to Neuro-Oncology (print copies are not included).
Eligibility to receive the discounted developing country member rate is dependent on the country's classification as a "low income" or "lower middle income" country by the World Bank. To find out a country's World Bank status and/or to join SNO at this reduced rate, click here.
