The purpose of this grant is to stimulate original resident research projects in any topic related to migraine that are well-conceived and scientifically valid, with the potential to advance the understanding of migraine disease.
Proposed projects may be related to any topic related to migraine. Proposed projects shall be designed in collaboration with a preceptor investigator and approved by the candidate's department chairperson and institution. The recipient(s) shall be free to publish the results afterwards, but the AMD shall have the right to publish any follow-up information about the findings of the recipient’s research. Any presentation or publication of results supported by this award shall acknowledge the contribution of the AMD’s Resident Research Grant. Applications must be accompanied by a letter of support from the applicant’s Department Chair verifying that the applicant will be permitted to devote an appropriate amount of time to the conduct and timely completion of the proposed research project. Resident applicants must also work with a faculty member (Preceptor) designated as a co-investigator. A letter of support must also be obtained from the coinvestigator (Preceptor). Applicants must obtain letters of support/understanding from all key personnel on the project. Projects which are clinical trials of unproven drugs or devices are outside the areas of AMD interest for purposes of resident research grants.

FORMAT
Applications are in a similar format to the National Institutes of Health. All applications must be completed and submitted online through Proposal Central at https://proposalcentral.altum.com. Visit http://www.entnet.org/CORE for more information on the application process.
SIGNATURES
The Principal Investigator, Department Chairman, and Institution official are required to sign the original grant application (all signatures must appear). The AMD Resident Research Grant is legally awarded to the institution with which the Principal Investigator is affiliated, not to the investigator or his/her Division or Department. For this reason, it is very important that applicants comply with their home institution’s policies on pre-submission processing of grant applications. This can take time, so it is wise to plan ahead, allowing adequate time for processing and approvals. Applicants are advised to consult their institution’s offices of research administration or sponsored projects for information on processing requirements for an application prior to its submission.
APPROVALS
AMD grants are legally awarded to the institution with which the Principal Investigator is affiliated, unless the individual is an independent practitioner. For this reason, it is very important that applicants comply with their home institutions' policies with regard to pre-submission processing of grant applications. This can take time, so it is wise to plan ahead, allowing adequate time for processing and approvals. Applicants are advised to consult their institutions' offices of research administration or sponsored projects for information on processing requirements for an application prior to its submission. If the proposed research involved human subjects, the project must be reviewed and approved by an institutional review board (IRB). This approval must be submitted with the application. Independent practitioners must also submit evidence of a review by an institutional or non-institutional review board with the application. If IRB approval -- when applicable -- is unavoidably delayed, enter "pending" instead of the date and send a follow-up certification of approval signed by an official of the application institution within 30 days after the January 15 application receipt date. Grant applications that are not IRB approved will not be reviewed or considered further in that grant cycle. Any changes in the proposed work required by an IRB to secure approval must be submitted to the Foundation with the follow-up certification, prior to review or after the work is in progress.
LETTER OF INTENT
All applicants must submit a Letter of Intent online no later than 11:59pm, Eastern Standard Time, December 16, 2024. The letter of intent includes the title of the project, the principal investigator, and an abstract of the work. This will facilitate planning review requirements. See the proposalCENTRAL website (https://proposalcentral.altum.com) to begin the letter of intent process.
RECEIPT DATE
Allow yourself enough time to have the appropriate individuals review your application. Once your application is complete, print your cover page and have all of the necessary individuals sign. Keep in mind that it may take a few days to obtain all of the necessary signatures. The CORE grants program is paperless, so no hard copies of the signature page are to be mailed. Once all signatures have been obtained, you should scan the document and upload the .pdf to the system and retain the original for your files if needed. Once the signature page has been uploaded, run the checks within the system and click ‘SUBMIT.’ You will receive a confirmation email indicating that your proposal has officially been submitted. ALL materials must be submitted online by 11:59pm, Eastern Standard Time, January 15, 2025.
FOLLOW-UP
In carrying out its stewardship of the research programs, the AMD may request information essential to an assessment of the effectiveness of this program. Accordingly, the recipient is hereby notified that s/he may be contacted after the completion of the grant for periodic updates on various aspects of employment history, publications, support from research grants or contracts, honors and awards, professional activities, and other information helpful in evaluating the impact of the program
