2017 Boerger Research Fund for Alzheimer’s Disease and Neurocognitive Disorders
Receiving a grant from the Boerger Research Fund was critically important, as the quantitative MR imaging of glymphatic flow is a more experimental or “high risk/high reward” kind of grant that is unlikely to get funded through more traditional mechanisms. This funding is allowing us to get data for proof of concept and to gather necessary pilot data, so that we can apply for NIH funding.
One of the most important missions of the Foundation of the ASNR is…to provide a critical lifeline of support to researchers at a time when securing extramural funding is increasingly difficult, especially for investigators who face increasing pressure to do more clinical work and relinquish academic days if those days are not funded by grants.
