About This Award

The purpose of this fellowship is to support research and education in any Basic Science topic relevant to the discipline of Neuroradiology. This fellowship has continuously been supported by a grant from Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals. Awards in this category are typically given to applicants who have a well-defined project performed in controlled environment such as a laboratory setting, often using animal models of human diseases. Recent awards have been given to projects such as (1) correlation of MR perfusion imaging data and histological findings in a rodent brain tumor model and (2) use of diffusion tensor imaging and functional MR imaging to assess functional correlates of traumatic diffuse axonal injury. For 2008, the Foundation and Bayer will support two fellowships in the amount of $60,000 each.
