Relevance 2050 Grant Award Request for Applications

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

The Relevance 2050 Committee of the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology (AACN) is pleased to announce a request for proposals to be considered competitively for funding available through a one-time AACN grant award.  A single one-year grant of up to $10,000 is available for an innovative project that supports the mission of the Relevance 2050 Committee. By the year 2050, 60% of the American population will not be testable with our current neuropsychological toolkit of instruments normed primarily on mono-linguistic/mono-cultural English-speaking European American populations. The Relevance Committee seeks to help maintain the relevance of clinical neuropsychology as a healthcare specialty in this rapidly diversifying landscape. The primary goal of this award is to facilitate the development of an interactive platform for multi-cultural/multi-linguistic norms for open access cognitive tests.
