Description
The Foundation of the American Society of Neuroradiology administers this grant through an endowment established with support from the estate of Elaine D. Berger. It supports innovative, high-impact projects combining neuroimaging with other methodologies to investigate the pathophysiological underpinnings of behavioral and mental health disorders, with the goal of improving treatment and outcomes.
Research may investigate neural mechanisms, potential therapeutics, and other interventions. Topics include anxiety disorders, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, mood disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, personality disorders, PTSD, schizophrenia, chronic pain, and substance and alcohol use disorders. Proposals must present clearly stated, testable hypotheses and well-developed aims, with a scientific rationale identifying knowledge gaps and explaining how the research will address them.
