The award recognizes the most promising new investigators who are achieving significant results early in their careers.

Young Investigator Award: Sponsored by the American Brain Tumor Association, the Young Investigator Award is given annually at the AANS and CNS to a young faculty member in neurosurgery who has been in practice for less than six years and who has demonstrated outstanding potential for basic science research in the field of neuro-oncology.

National Brain Tumor Foundation Translational Research Grant Award: A certificate and grant is awarded to the best translational research proposal on brain tumors. Proposals that bring novel laboratory research findings to clinical trial are preferred. Primary investigators must be practicing neurosurgeons within the first six years of their career.

The Integra Foundation Award: The Integra Foundation Award is a new award beginning in 2005 to be presented at both the AANS and CNS meetings recognizing a high ranking abstract focused on basic science or clinical research of benign brain and peripheral nerve tumors.
