Make a gift to the William L. Young Research Award
Following the untimely death of William L. Young, MD, in 2013, the Society for Neuroscience in Anesthesiology and Critical Care agreed to establish an eponymous research award to honor his career and life, particularly his outstanding accomplishments as a clinical and laboratory neuroscientist.
Dr. Young was a longstanding SNACC member, President of the Society from 1996-1997 and a colleague and friend of many of its members. He was appropriately viewed as one of the most productive researchers, influential mentors, and memorable personalities in neuroanesthesiology’s history.
The William L. Young Neuroscience Research Award is presented annually to offer support to academic physicians and/or scientists who conduct either clinical or laboratory-based research related to neuroscience in anesthesiology and critical care.
Applying for the William L. Young Neuroscience Research Award
