| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: This award aims to support young investigators engaged in clinical research focused on ALS, ALS-FTD, PLS, PMA, and HSP. It is funded by the CReATe Consortium 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: Priority will be given to applicants who have completed a medical residency and preferably one year of a clinical fellowship (MD), or a post-doctoral fellowship (PhD) within the past three years; junior faculty within three years of their first faculty appointment are also encouraged to apply. Applications from groups underrepresented in biomedical sciences are encouraged. Applicants are encouraged (but not required) to seek co-mentorship from a member of the CReATe Consortium.
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.
Deadline: 01-October-2020
