Description
Funded by the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy and administered by the American Brain Foundation (ABF), this two-year award supports early-career investigators studying peripheral neuropathy disease mechanisms, diagnosis, or treatment. It funds clinical or preclinical research with potential relevance beyond peripheral neuropathy to other diseases.
The award is part of ABF’s Next Generation Research Grants program, which advances high-quality research aimed at understanding, treating, and curing brain diseases. It reflects the foundation’s “Cure One, Cure Many” philosophy: breakthroughs in one research area can accelerate progress in others. The program emphasizes scientific rigor, clinical impact, translational value, feasible aims, and mentorship supporting research independence. ABF encourages broad perspectives and study populations reflecting the full spectrum of people affected by peripheral neuropathy.
