NEW YORK, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CurePSP has announced student fellowship recipients, totaling nine projects between the Urso Student Fellowship Grant and the Jim Atwood Neuroscience Student Fellowship Grant, awarded to projects that hope to answer questions advancing our understanding of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration (CBD) and related diseases, as well as expand the community of researchers dedicated to finding a cure. The fellowships aim to encourage students and trainees to pursue research in the field to make PSP and CBD long-term areas of research interest and to further awareness and our understanding of these diseases.
The Urso Student Fellowship Grant, supported by the Paul and Ruth Urso Memorial Research Fund, was awarded to six projects focused on basic, translational, clinical or epidemiological aspects of PSP and CBD.
In its second year, the Jim Atwood Neuroscience Student Fellowship, supported by the Jim Atwood Neuroscience Student Fellowship Endowment, was awarded to three undergraduate student projects focused on PSP or CBD.
The nine fellowship recipients are undergraduate students, PhD students, and medical trainees, studying questions regarding tauopathies and will conduct their research at leading institutions.
“CurePSP is honored to support this group of young investigators conducting summer projects that will further our understanding of PSP and CBD,” said Dr. Jennifer Brummet, Associate Director of Scientific Affairs and Partnerships at CurePSP. “Fostering the careers of future scientists is key to finding treatments and cure for PSP and CBD.”
