These awards support innovative efforts to solve the problems of neurological and psychiatric diseases. They encourage research aimed at translating laboratory discoveries about the brain and nervous system into diagnoses and therapies to improve human health.
Collaborative projects between basic and clinical neuroscientists are welcomed, as are proposals that help link basic with clinical neuroscience.
NOTE: The Brain Disorders Awards have become the Memory and Cognitive Disorders Awards. The final round of Brain Disorders Awards began in 2010. During their existence, up to six awards of $100,000 per year for three years were given annually.
