Mentorship Award
The Mentorship Award recognizes an individual who is an active member of the AACPDM and who has demonstrated outstanding leadership mentoring trainees and colleagues in the field of childhood-onset disabilities. The nominee's exceptional achievement in mentoring trainees and colleagues in the field of childhood-onset disabilities will be considered, with particular emphasis on a history of sustained mentorship over time and the scope/depth of the mentorship.
Research Grant
A key mission of the Academy is to promote excellence in research for the benefit of persons with cerebral palsy and childhood-onset disabilities. One way in which the Academy promotes research is through the annual AACPDM Research Grant. The AACPDM Research Grant Award provides seed funding to develop a high quality clinical research project/program. The award is expected to produce a competitive interdisciplinary, multi-investigator/center grant proposal for submission to larger agencies/funders of research in any area relevant to the AACPDM. Any member of the AACPDM is eligible to apply. Only one grant application per member will be considered in a given budget year.
