Since 1951, The Grass Foundation has promoted innovative, high-impact summer research at the Marine Biological Laboratory by investigators early in their careers. The list of previous Grass Fellows includes many preeminent names in neuroscience. During the past half-century, Grass Fellows have played essential roles in developing and advancing the fields of basic and clinical neuroscience. Each summer, Grass Fellows continue to push forward new frontiers in neuroscience while developing life-long scientific connections and friendships with other young investigators around the world.

The Grass Foundation seeks to encourage independent research at the Marine Biological Laboratory by investigators early in their career and to increase research opportunities for persons trained for careers in neurobiological investigation. The normal tenure is fourteen weeks. The number of fellowships awarded varies annually.
