Research program will award three Indiana students $2,500
The Alzheimer’s Association is launching an Early Investigators Research Program. This program encourages, recognizes and awards promising research projects in basic biomedical, patient-oriented or social-behavioral research.
Student candidates must be currently enrolled and in good standing as an undergraduate, graduate or post-doctoral student at an accredited Indiana college or university. Candidates will be allowed to self-nominate or be nominated by a faculty member. Submissions must include the full name and contact information of the candidate, academic institution, if they are an undergrad, graduate or post-doctoral student, a 200-word summary of their research project and a letter of support from a mentor or academic advisor.
The candidates will be evaluated by the Medical and Scientific Advisory Council of the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Indiana Chapter. This council consists of physicians, scientists, researchers and practitioners that are experts in Alzheimer’s disease. Three cash awards of $2,500 will be given to the students selected, and they will have an opportunity to present their project at the Alzheimer’s Association Education Conference on April 25, 2014.
Submissions must be emailed to Dustin Ziegler at dziegler@alz.org by November 27. For further information, please contact the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Indiana Chapter at 800.272.3900.
