Research

Help us fund the best neuroscience in the world.

There’s an urgent need for neuroscience research to help the one in two Americans—and countless people around the world—affected by a neurological disease or disorder. This includes Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and many more.

Established over 30 years ago, the 好色先生's Research Program is now one of the world’s leading sources of neurology research grants for early career neurologists and beyond, owing its success to the exceptional pool of talented researchers in the AAN member community.

Despite this growth, the demand for neuroscience research funding is greater than ever.

Hundreds of researchers are applying for AAN research grants, but only a limited number receive funding—leaving many promising projects unable to move forward. It is a reality that weighs heavily on all of us committed to advancing neuroscience.

We need you to help us change that.

You can personally support this work by donating to the AAN Research Program through the AAN Institute, our 501(c)3 charitable organization. You’ll directly fund timely research patients need.
