| This fellowship, first awarded in 1986, was created with the support of Bayer Laboratories to stimulate the scientific development of promising young men and women, and to aid them in embarking on a career in academic neuroradiology. It is specifically designed to provide educational opportunities for young radiologists who are not yet professionally established in the radiologic sciences to gain further insight into scientific investigation, and to develop competence in research. Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and the Neuroradiology Education and Research Foundation (NERF) jointly sponsor these fellowships through 2009. |
