• Amount: $150,000
• Project Period: Two years

This award aims to support young investigators in clinical studies relevant to age-related cognitive decline and memory loss. The award also recognizes the importance of rigorous training in clinical research and encourages young investigators to seek opportunities to establish future careers in the area of human cognitive aging. The focus should NOT be on a neurodegenerative dementia (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease); however, proposals that focus on the combined study of cognitive aging and neurodegenerative cognitive changes may be considered. Applicants are eligible if interested in an academic career in neurological research and has completed residency or a PhD no more than 5 years prior to the beginning of this award (July 1, 2027).
