Fellows of INS (FINS)

Fellowship status in the International Neuropsychological Society (INS) honors long-standing, dedicated members who have demonstrated meaningful and sustained contributions to the Society over time.

The FINS designation is independent from other awards and honors within INS and is intended to acknowledge a broad range of impactful contributions, including leadership roles, scholarly activities, mentorship, editorial service, meeting participation, and other significant forms of engagement. Eligibility requires a minimum of five years of continuous professional membership in INS, along with documented service and achievement in one or more recognized areas.

While FINS serves as a distinct honor in recognition of individual dedication and service, it is important to highlight that that proceeds from FINS applications will be directed to the Matthews Fund, one of INS’s major initiatives supporting education, training, and global engagement in neuropsychology. This is a one-time fee, equal to a single year of INS membership.

New Fellows are recognized during the Award Ceremony during the February North American INS Meeting.
