Eligibility

  1. For the purpose of this scholarship, research is defined as “patient-oriented research conducted with human subjects, or translational research specifically designed to develop treatments or enhance diagnosis of neurologic disease. These areas of research include epidemiologic or behavioral studies, clinical trials, studies of disease mechanisms, the development of new technologies, and health services and outcomes research.” Disease-related studies not directly involving humans or human tissue are also encouraged if the primary goal is the development of therapies, diagnostic tests, or other tools to prevent or mitigate neurological diseases.
  2. Recipient must be an AAN member interested in an academic career in neurological research who has completed residency or a PhD no more than 5 years to the beginning of this award (July 1, 2024). If you have completed both residency and a PhD, your eligibility is based on when you completed residency. If you have completed a fellowship of any kind after residency, your eligibility is still based on the date you finished residency.
  3. Applicants at accredited US and international institutions are eligible.
  4. Permanent residency or US citizenship is not required.
  5. Applicants are encouraged (but not required) to seek co-mentorship from a member of the CReATe Consortium. Contact ProjectCReATe@miami.edu for more information.
