AMD Resident Research Grant

The AMD Resident Research Grant aims to foster innovative research projects related to migraine, encouraging residents to explore diverse topics that are scientifically sound. Applicants, who must be enrolled in accredited training programs, can collaborate with preceptor investigators and receive support from their institutions. The grant is open to all residents without country restrictions, promoting advancements in migraine understanding and treatment.

Purpose
The purpose of this grant is to stimulate original resident research projects in any topic related to migraine
that are well-conceived and scientifically valid, with the potential to advance the understanding of migraine disease.
Conditions
Proposed projects may be related to any topic related to migraine. Proposed projects shall be designed in
collaboration with a preceptor investigator and approved by the candidate's department chairperson and institution. The recipient(s) shall be free to publish the results afterwards, but the AMD shall have the right to publish any follow-up information about the findings of the recipient’s research. Any presentation or publication of results supported by this award shall acknowledge the contribution of the AMD’s Resident Research Grant.
Applications must be accompanied by a letter of support from the applicant’s Department Chair verifying that the applicant will be permitted to devote an appropriate amount of time to the conduct and timely completion of the proposed research project. Resident applicants must also work with a faculty member (Preceptor) designated as a co-investigator. A letter of support must also be obtained from the coinvestigator (Preceptor). Applicants must obtain letters of support/understanding from all key personnel on the project.

Eligibility

Any resident of an accredited training program is eligible to apply for the AMD's Resident Research Grant(s).
There are no restrictions on country of residence.Award funds may be used for any legitimate costs associated with the purpose of the
Award, other than salary support for the Principal Investigator.If university policy stipulates that a portion of this very modest award must go toward institutional indirect costs, no more than ten percent (10%) of the direct costs may be applied for indirect costs. Allowable expenses include:consultant fees (e.g., statistician, methodologist);salary support for
research assistants or other supporting personnel;computer software or hardware;computer database access fees; andexpenses related to presentation or publication of results.Equipment and supplies purchased with this Award become the property of the recipient institution.The AMD Resident Research Grant is legally awarded to the
institution with which the Principal Investigator is affiliated, not to the investigator or his/her Division or Department.For this reason, it is very important that applicants comply with their home institution’s policies on pre-submission processing of grant applications. This can take time, so it is wise to plan ahead, allowing adequate time for processing and approvals.Applicants are advised to consult their institution’s offices of research administration or sponsored projects for information on processing requirements for an application prior to its submission.

Ineligibility

Applications submitted by ineligible PIs will NOT be
reviewed by the CORE Study Section.Projects which are clinical trials of unproven drugs or devices are outside the areas of AMD interest for purposes of resident research grants.This award is non-renewable.
