The American Brain Foundation has announced that it is accepting applications for their 2020 Research Program Opportunities.
The American Brain Foundation invests in the next generation of researchers through its Clinical Research Training Scholarships and Clinician Scientist Development Awards. According to their site, they have established a relationship with the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) to access “the best and brightest minds to source the most high-risk and high-reward research.”
To date, the American Brain Foundation has provided $27 million to 244 researchers.
We encourage the focused ultrasound community to consider applying by the October 1, 2019, deadline — or pass along this opportunity to a colleague who may be interested.
