Description
The AACNF Outcome Studies Grant Program supports empirical research on the outcomes of clinical neuropsychological services, such as their utility, cost-effectiveness, and impact on patient care and healthcare systems. The program prioritizes studies that demonstrate the tangible benefits of neuropsychological assessments—including effects on treatment planning, healthcare costs, provider confidence, and patient satisfaction—especially in conditions like ADHD, dementia, traumatic brain injury, stroke, and epilepsy. The goal is to build evidence for the value of neuropsychological services and inform evidence-based clinical practice.
