How does your current research bridge the gap between cognitive neuroscience and education? How can scientific discoveries inform development of innovative curricula and tools that enhance learning?
The Aspen Brain Forum Foundation will award two prizes of $7,500 each in unrestricted funds to recognize innovation and excellence in translating discoveries from cognitive neuroscience into innovative curricula and new tools that enhance learning inside or outside of the classroom. The prize categories are 1) young investigator (at the post-doc / assistant professor level) and, 2) senior scientist. Applications will be reviewed by a multi-disciplinary committee of experts.
Winners will be announced and prizes awarded at the Second Annual Aspen Brain Forum conference.
