Research Support Awards

AANS/CNS Joint Section on Pediatrics RFA

Research Support Awards • 2022

The AANS/CNS section on Pediatric Neurological Surgery seeks applications for the 2022 Pediatric Section Grant.  This is a research grant opportunity specifically targeted to new pediatric neurosurgery fellows and junior faculty. The Pediatric Section recognizes there are limited funding opportunities for fellows and junior faculty, despite the evidence that this population is in greatest need of support. This grant provides funding to support research collaboration between fellows/new faculty and senior faculty. This will stimulate mentorship and support pediatric neurosurgeons seeking to incorporate research as part of their careers. Projects should have a clear pediatric neurosurgical focus.

Amount: The award will be up to $10,000 of support for a 1-year project.

Deadline for application: April 15, 2022

Eligible Applicants:  Incoming fellows, current fellows, and junior faculty within first year of practice.

 

Applications should be in the following format:

  1. Project Summary (describe the overall project being proposed; 2 pages total)
  2. Specific Aims
  3. Background and Significance
  4. Research Plan
  5. Budget (state what the aw​ard amount will be used for and how it will help with the overall project)
  6. PI’s Biosketch (NIH format)
  7. It is strongly encouraged to submit the grant application with a senior mentor from the applicant’s new institution where s/he will be starting as fellow/new faculty on July 1.

Please combine all three items as one ‘pdf’ file and submit the completed application to Heather McCrea and Brandon Miller at hmccrea@med.miami.edu and Brandon.A.Miller@uth.tmc.edu

Applications will be reviewed by the Research Committee of the Section, approved by the Executive Committee, and announced in mid-may. Award recipients are expected to present a 6 month “Work In Progress” summary at the Annual Pediatric Section Meeting (December) at the midpoint of their funding cycle, then present a summary of the completed work at the subsequent Annual Meeting (in December, 6 months after the end of funding).
