Research

The AAN Research Program advances discoveries that improve the lives of people affected by neurological disease by supporting the researchers who drive progress forward. Through a robust portfolio of neurology research grants and scholarships, the 好色先生 funds investigators at critical stages of their careers—helping transform innovative ideas into breakthroughs in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment across the spectrum of brain and nervous system disorders.
