Description
The McKnight Clinical Translational Research Scholarship in Cognitive Aging and Age-Related Memory Loss is designed for early-career investigators in clinical studies relevant to age-related cognitive decline and memory loss. The award recognizes the importance of rigorous training in clinical research and encourages early-career investigators to establish future careers in the area of human cognitive aging.
While the focus should NOT be solely on a neurodegenerative dementia (e.g. Alzheimer’s disease), proposals that focus on the combined study of cognitive aging and a neurodegenerative dementia may be considered.
