The AANEM Foundation for Research and Education provides research grant funding for projects related to neuromuscular and electrodiagnostic medicine. More than $325,000 has been awarded to 10 research projects to date.
Currently, the AANEM Foundation for Research and Education 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 EDX 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.
At this time, AANEM Foundation for Research & Education has closed the application process and looks forward to reviewing four invited proposals. |
