Description
The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) presents this award to recognize early-career advanced practice providers (APPs) for excellence in patient care and commitment to the Academy. It is a recognition award rather than funding for a specified research project, honoring contributions to clinical neurology and neurological patient care.
The award focuses on early-career impact and potential. Applicants demonstrate contributions to patient care or practice innovation, leadership and professional growth, and commitment to advancing neurology alongside their future professional goals. Recipients receive a monetary prize and honorary plaque, with recognition at the AAN Annual Meeting and in member publications.
