Each year, the AES Research and Training Council provides $40,000 to fund workshops intended for broad-based, clinical or scientific audiences. These events highlight novel and creative topics in neuroscience that are for collaborative consensus or review.
AES accepts funding requests during two funding cycles: spring (March) and fall (October). For the 2014-15 fiscal year, AES is pleased to provide $20,000 grants to the following two recipients:
-
University of Utah: ADD Program Symposium, which focuses on Therapy Development in the Era of Team Science and Big Data. This conference, organized by AES member Steve White, will be held May 17-20 in Park City, Utah.
-
International Workshop on Seizure Prediction (IWSP7): Epilepsy Mechanisms, Models, Prediction and Control. The workshop is slated for August 3-6 in Melbourne, Australia and is organized by Hitten Zaveri of Yale University.
In addition to funding these workshops, AES provides grants for other events throughout the year and frequently partners with other organizations to provide CME.
