Research Career Development Symposium: How to be Successful in Academic Neuroscience

The deadline for travel scholarships to attend the Research Career Development Symposium has passed. Please check back in December 2012 for opportunities in 2013. The Symposium will take place in conjunction with the Annual Meeting.

This program, sponsored the AAN, American Brain Foundation and NINDS, will take place on Saturday, March 16, 2013 and will provide information to early stage neurologists who are embarking on an academic career in neurological research with a focus on acquiring a career development award. This full-day program will focus on grants from NIH, major foundations and the American Brain Foundation through a morning of lectures and small group mentoring sessions in the afternoon.

Attendees will receive information critical to their transition from residency or clinical fellowship to investigative independence in academic neurology. In order to facilitate the mentoring sessions, attendees are asked to identify their interest in basic or clinical research and their specific area of interest/disease state.
