The Grass Foundation is a not-for-profit, private foundation chartered to assist in advancing knowledge principally in the field of neurophysiology, and including allied fields of medicine and science. In pursuit of that goal, the Foundation acts to encourage and advance education, research and clinical investigation in these fields. All grants and expenditures of The Grass Foundation must be for charitable purposes as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. Please send any requests for proposals to The Grass Foundation office.
As a private foundation, all programs that are administered by The Grass Foundation and that make grants to individuals must have pre-approval by the Internal Revenue Service. Currently, the Grass Fellowship in Neuroscience Program at the Marine Biological Laboratory ("MBL") is the sole active program of this type administered directly by The Grass Foundation.
In addition to this program, The Grass Foundation currently funds a summer faculty grant program, a number of courses in neuroscience, and a few lectureships.
