George Bartzokis Travel Awardees
The George Bartzokis Travel Award is given to one or two CCAD attendees each year in the amount of $2000. It is awarded based on the attendee’s exemplification of scientific citizenship as defined by Dr. Bartzokis. One of the main goals of CCAD is to promote collaboration and cross-pollination in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) research and this award helps achieve that by giving early-career investigators the means to travel to other conferences or AD research events.
