AAN//American Brain Foundation/Amgen Clinical Research Training Scholarship in Migraine

Funding to recognise the importance of good clinical research and to encourage young investigators in clinical studies.

The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) is a US-based professional society representing neurologists and neuroscientists worldwide. As a medical specialty society it was established in 1948 by A.B. Baker of the University of Minnesota to advance the art and science of neurology, and thereby promote the best possible care for patients with neurological disorders.

The Clinical Research Training Scholarship in Migraine is available to recognise the importance of good clinical research and to encourage young investigators in clinical studies.

Eligible projects include 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 behavioural 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.
