Description
Sponsored by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and supported by its Neuro-infectious Disease Section, this award recognizes individuals who have contributed to neuro-infectious disease research. It honors independent research contributions rather than work consisting only of case reports, considering the focus of the applicant’s research program and their individual contributions to the field.
The award emphasizes innovative, clearly described research with impact, appropriate statistical methodology, ethical considerations, and potential to fill a gap. Review also considers scientific citizenship, publication record, professional potential, project ownership, and career trajectory. Its broader priorities include scientific integrity, academic excellence, mentorship, professionalism, and inspiration for future generations.
