Description
The AACPDM Mentored Research Grant supports high-quality clinical research alongside training and mentorship in childhood-onset disabilities. Offered through the Academy’s annual Research Grant Program, the award can fund project planning or completion of a small research project. Research training and mentoring are central components of the award, helping investigators expand their research careers.
The program seeks to bring together investigators from diverse geographical locations to obtain pilot data, access statistical consultation, and develop a multicenter research study plan. Supported work should align with AACPDM’s mission to foster innovative research, its dissemination and implementation, and equitable access to evidence-based care within a collaborative, multidisciplinary community.
