TAAF Annual Research Grant Program

The Aneurysm and AVM Foundation (TAAF) seeks applications for scientific research projects that will significantly move the field forward toward effective understanding of the mechanisms of cerebrovascular disease. TAAF Grants respond to the cerebrovascular community's need for projects that highlight innovative research strategies that will support the development of novel cerebrovascular therapies, clinical management and recovery for adult and/or pediatric patients.

Awards will be granted at a maximum of $25,000. Funds will not be granted for indirect costs. The award is open to all levels of investigators. Grant recipients will present their research at The Aneurysm and AVM Foundation's  Annual Meeting. The meeting date and location is TBD and will be announced at a later time. Please see the application for more information or email us at research@taafonline.org with questions.

Applications are due by November 30, 2011.

Applicants will be notified of final decisions in February 2012.

2011-2012 Research Grant in Memory of Nancy J Quinnine, RN

Nancy Quinnine was a dedicated nurse, and founding member of TAAF. She brought 30 years of nursing experience to UCSF and The Aneurysm and AVM Foundation, with the last 11 years devoted to work as part of the UCSF Center for Cerebrovascular Research at UCSF (http://avm.ucsf.edu), where she played a pivotal role as clinical coordinator.

In 2002, she helped organize The Aneurysm and AVM Support Group at UCSF, which continues to meet monthly. She served on the Medical Advisory Board for Ikana Media, creating a Website: Understanding Health. Above all else, her commitment to this patient population spoke for itself. Nancy worked tirelessly, and with endless enthusiasm and optimism to further research, and empower patients in their own recovery.
