Description
The National Academy of Neuropsychology's Clinical Research Grants Program funds small grants, pilot projects, and seed grants designed to advance clinical neuropsychology—especially projects that may not attract traditional funding due to their applied or early-stage nature. The program emphasizes research on health disparities, health inequities, and the social determinants of health (SDOH), including the impact of health-related social needs (HRSN) on cognition and neuropsychological outcomes. Priority is given to studies that address systemic drivers of health disparities or develop interventions at the community or individual level to improve cognitive health. Both cross-sectional and longitudinal projects are eligible, provided completion is feasible within a two-year funding period.
