Aim: The purpose of this scholarship is to promote neuromuscular clinical and translational research through fellowships to trainees and to promote the activities of the Muscle Study Group. It is funded by the Muscle Study Group and American Brain Foundation, in collaboration with the American Academy of Neurology. Scientists engaged in research that is “patient-oriented research conducted with human subjects, or translational research specifically designed to develop treatments or enhance diagnosis of neurologic disease” are welcome to apply. This includes 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.
Funding: $150’000 ($65K salary + $10K research costs per year)
Duration: 2 years
Eligibility: Recipient must be pursuing an academic career in neurological research and have completed residency or a PhD no more than 5 years prior to the beginning of this award (July 1, 2021). If you have completed both residency and a PhD, your eligibility is based on when you completed residency. If you completed a fellowship of any kind after residency, your eligibility is still based on the date you finished residency. Recipient must attend the Muscle Study Group’s Annual Meetings in 2021 and 2022. In 2022, they will present their research.
How to Apply: Applications can be submitted on the AAN proposal platform. Applications should include a three-age research plan, an NIH-style biosketch, the names of two references, and a named mentor.
