The 2025 Program will be held in person, June 2-7, 2025, in Wellesley, Massachusetts. The award is in the amount of $8,000, to be used toward the cost of tuition, travel, housing, and subsistence during the period of the course.
The award is open to non-resident surgeons who are members in good standing of both the ACS and the NESS, practicing in the United States.

The New England Surgical Society Scholars Foundation is now accepting applications for its 2025-2027 Scholars Research Grant, through May 30, 2025.
The NESS Scholars Foundation Research Grant advances innovative surgical research. The recipient of the 2025-2027 grant will be awarded $20,000. A written interim progress report is due by June 30, 2026, the one-year mark. It is expected that the activities associated with the award will be completed by June 30, 2027, and that the awardee will both provide a final written report by July 31, 2027, and present an oral report during the Business Meeting of the 108th NESS Annual Meeting, September 17-19, 2027, at the Equinox in Manchester, VT.
One of the primary goals of the NESS Scholars Foundation is to support junior faculty (within 10 years prior to the end date of the grant, with an academic rank of either Instructor, Assistant Professor, or Associate Professor) in their endeavors to contribute to the scientific knowledge as it relates to the discipline of surgery. Grants can be submitted EITHER by NESS members in good standing (any membership category except Candidate) OR by those with pending NESS Active or Affiliate membership applications. [In the latter scenario, the applicant must be sponsored by an NESS member in good standing (any membership category except Candidate), and that sponsoring member must submit a letter of support.]
