ICCP Young Investigator Award
The Outstanding Young Investigator Award is designed to encourage and facilitate the career of a promising researcher through the support of an inter-laboratory visit to engage in collaborative study and/or learn a new research technique or approach. The $10,000 USD award can be used to defray the costs of travel, accommodation, and research expenses associated with the inter-laboratory visit. ICCP wishes to encourage international collaborations, although national collaborations will be accepted and reviewed competitively.
The Outstanding Young Investigator Award of ICCP is open to all spinal cord injury researchers who are currently Postdoctoral Fellows (or Research Associates) within the first seven (7) years of their doctoral award (e.g. PhD, MD, DDS, DVM).
Deadline for submission: September 1st, 2005.

Neurosurgery Research and Education Foundation (NREF)
The NREF furthers research through two awards, the Research Fellowship and the Young Clinician Investigator Award.
The Neurosurgery Research and Education Foundation was established in 1981 as an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to advances in the prevention and treatment of neurological disorders. As a 501(c)3, NREF is supported not by the government, but by voluntary donations from members of the AANS and the general public. The Foundation awards research grants to residents and clinicians in neurosurgery. Since it was established, NREF has directed nearly $3.5 million to 83 scientific investigations. This year the NREF celebrates its 22nd anniversary as the premier funder of neurosurgical studies. Through NREF-sponsored investigations, extraordinary advances have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders.
The Foundation furthers research through two awards, the Research Fellowship and the Young Clinician Investigator Award. The Research Fellowship, offered as a two-year commitment, totaling $70,000 or a one-year grant of $40,000, provides critical training to senior residents preparing to dedicate their futures to research relevant to the specialty. The Young Clinician Investigator Award, a one-year grant, provides funding for pilot studies that provide preliminary data used to strengthen applications for more permanent funding from other sources.
