Description
The Society for Neuroscience in Anesthesiology and Critical Care (SNACC) presents this annual award to support academic physicians and scientists conducting clinical or laboratory-based research related to neuroscience in anesthesiology and critical care. Basic, translational, clinical, and data science projects are welcome, provided they align with the Society’s mission.
The award was established following William L. Young’s death in 2013 to honor his career as a clinical and laboratory neuroscientist, mentor, and former SNACC president. Previously funded research spans anesthetic reversal and recovery from drug-induced unresponsiveness, red blood cell responses to hypoxia and anesthetics, neuroprotective channels, postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction, perioperative ketamine therapy, and cognitive function following subarachnoid hemorrhage.
