Donate to the AAN Research Program

Help us fund the best neuroscience in the world.

Established over 30 years ago, the American Academy of Neurology's Research Program is now one of the world’s leading sources of neurology research grants for early career neurologists and beyond, owing its success to the exceptional pool of talented researchers in the AAN member community.

Despite this growth, the demand for neuroscience research funding is greater than ever.

Hundreds of researchers are applying for AAN research grants, but only a limited number receive funding—leaving many promising projects unable to move forward. It is a reality that weighs heavily on all of us committed to advancing neuroscience.

We need you to help us change that.

You can personally support this work by donating to the All for Neurology fund through the AAN Institute, our 501(c)3 charitable organization. You’ll directly fund timely research patients need.

Benefits of the All for Neurology fund

1. 100% of your tax-deductible donation goes to research. With us, your donations go right where they’re needed: funding neuroscience research and facing the pressing challenge of brain disease.
2. Fundable research shouldn’t go unfunded. This year alone, $28M in viable neuroscience research is going unfunded. We need your help to make sure high-quality research isn’t abandoned.
3. Your support goes furthest with us. We have direct access to the world’s largest community of neurologists and neuroscience professionals—more than 44,000 AAN members strong. With our deep clinical expertise and decades of experience, your donation can go right to the researchers who need it.
4. We’re guided by trusted experts. With neurologists leading our Board of Directors, Science Committee, and Research Program Subcommittee, our organization is guided by professionals who understand both the science and the real-world application of research.

We would like to thank the numerous organizations already contributing funds to the AAN Research Program, including the American Heart Association, the Parkinson’s Foundation, and our legacy supporter, the American Brain Foundation.
