Call for Applications: American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine Research Grant
The American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) is announcing the availability of a grant opportunity that will be awarded on a competitive basis. The goal of this award is to fund research with high potential to impact patient care through the identification of important relationships between electrodiagnostic measures or imaging modalities with respect to the clinical or functional outcomes of people with neuromuscular disorders. We are seeking high quality, evidence based studies that will provide important information that delineate the role of electrodiagnostic studies in patient management. Studies that assess electrodiagnosis and its relation to outcomes, its ability to promote efficient care and to optimize the use of healthcare resources, as well as complement other diagnostic tests are being solicited. We envision this study to provide class I or II evidence based medicine, demonstrating the impact of electrodiagnosis on patient care and the optimization of resources. Cost effectiveness and care efficiency aspects of proposals are highly desirable.
These disorders include, but are not limited to, common mononeuropathies, cervical and lumbar radiculopathies, peripheral neuropathy, myopathy, neuromuscular junction disorders and motor neuron disorders.
This goal will be accomplished through the peer review grant process with oversight by the AANEM Foundation.

Candidates for the Award will either be citizens of the United States or have permanent residency status.
The Award is in the amount of $75,000 a year for each of three years. The funds can be used at the discretion of the awardee within the purposes of the Award, the broad confines of the annual approved budget and grantee institutional policy. Supplemental funding from other sources are encouraged. It is expected that Award funds will be used as necessary and appropriate to further the objectives of the Award: the conduct of a clinical research and educational program relevant to cerebral palsy and related developmental brain disorders. A minimal commitment of 60 percent is a requirement of the Award. The clinical research program can be patient based or a combined laboratory–patient endeavor.
Candidates for the Award will have completed their formal clinical and research training and will have recently completed between 4-6 years of post doctoral medical training or 2-4 years of post doctoral research training. However, additional opportunities for formal or informal training appropriate to clinical research is strongly encouraged during the first year of the Award.

A-T Children's Project Basic and Translational Research Grants Related to Ataxia-Telangiectasia
The A-T Children's Project strives to assist respected scientists in developing a clearer understanding of ataxia-telangiectasia. We are determined to find a timely cure, or life-improving treatments, for this serious disease. Grant awards are made through a careful and detailed selection process. The members of our Scientific Advisory Board examine each proposal and make their independent recommendations to our Board of Directors which then votes on each proposed project. Proposals from junior investigators, from scientists in related disciplines, and from individuals with innovative new ideas for A-T research are particularly encouraged, as are laboratories and teams working together from industry as well as teaching universities.
The Project provides competitive grant awards for basic and translational research grants related to A-T. One- and two-year projects are funded up to a maximum total direct cost of US$75,000 per year. Grants of US$75,000 per year, however, are rare; grants in the US$25,000 - 50,000 per year range are much more common.
Applicants please note that the A-T Children's Project is currently focusing its funding efforts on grant proposals that are relevant to a therapeutic intervention for A-T and/or proposals that facilitate translational or clinical research for this disease. As such, these types of applications will be given priority funding.
Applicants should also be aware that meritorious proposals may be rejected if:
The proposed research is too far from being relevant to a therapeutic intervention Our Scientific Advisory Board finds the research redundant and in no need of validation The proposed research is likely to happen anyway, without our support The research cannot realistically be achieved with the proposed budget
