Description
Sponsored by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and endowed by GlaxoSmithKline, Inc., this award honors Bruce S. Schoenberg, MD, and his work training neurologists internationally in epidemiologic methods. It recognizes early- and mid-career researchers with a strong background and future promise as leaders in neuroepidemiological research, particularly research on neurological diseases in resource-limited settings.
The award combines recognition with an opportunity to present a selected study at the AAN Annual Meeting. Priorities include innovative, clearly described research with potential impact and the ability to fill a gap in the field. Review also considers statistical methodology, ethical considerations, clear communication, scientific integrity, academic excellence, mentorship, professionalism, and contributions that inspire future generations.
