Description
Funded by the Alzheimer’s Association and the American Brain Foundation in collaboration with the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), this scholarship recognizes the importance of good clinical research and encourages early-career investigators studying Lewy body diseases. The program page states that the grant will be offered in 2028.
The AAN Clinical Research Training Scholarship framework supports patient-oriented research involving human subjects and translational research designed to develop treatments or improve diagnosis. Eligible research encompasses epidemiologic and behavioral studies, clinical trials, disease mechanisms, new technologies, and health services and outcomes research. Disease-related studies without direct involvement of humans or human tissue are also encouraged when their primary goal is developing therapies, diagnostic tests, or tools to prevent or mitigate neurological disease.
