The American Headache Society is proud to support recipients of the “Frontiers in Headache Research” Scholarship Awards attendance to the Annual Scientific Meeting and Scottsdale Headache Symposium® each year.
Recipients will be selected based on the quality of their research proposal or study and the potential for the proposal, study or thesis to contribute to the advancement of the field of headache medicine, with preference given to current AHS Trainee members. Applicants must be a headache medicine Fellow, Resident and/or post-doctoral fellow in the US or Canada who is in preparatory, active or completion phase of a basic or clinical research project that is related to headache or cranial nociception. Applicants must not have won an AHS scholarship within the past two years. Past winners within two years are not eligible to apply.
Recipients will receive complimentary meeting registration, a stipend up to $1,000 to cover travel expenses, and a one-year AHS Trainee membership (or a one-year extension of an existing Trainee membership). The top three selected will be invited to present their research proposal or results to attendees during the Annual Scientific Meeting or Scottsdale Headache Symposium. All other recipients will be invited to present a poster for display at the meeting and participate in optional Q&A sessions.
The application period is now open for the 2023 Scottsdale Headache Symposium! View details and apply here.
Congratulations to the 2023 recipients attending the 65th Annual Scientific Meeting!
