Congratulations to Malia McAvoy who is the recipient of several exciting awards for her project "A Novel Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Coated Flow Diverting Stent as a Drug Delivery System for Intracranial Aneurysms"
- $25K TAAF Cerebrovascular Research Grant. Of note, Dina Chon, the Executive Director of The Aneurysm and AVM Foundation, had this to say: “Not only is the project fabulously interesting (especially to this layman), but Dr. McAvoy is one of only two researchers who scored a 5 out of 5 points from the committee. 5's are very rare--hence the debate can take into the weekend---but she made the decision super easy. Well done mentors and colleagues, too; we are very excited.”
- $40K 2024-25 NREF Research Fellowship Grant / Young Clinician Investigator Award. Dr. McAvoy is only the 2nd resident in our program to receive this funding.
- $100K NIH R25 Grant (soon to be funded)
Further, Dr. McAvoy is the recipient of a Year 1 SNS Neurosurgeon-Scientist Training Program (NSTP) award, which allows her to attend the Neurosurgeon-Scientist Symposium at the CNS (Houston; fall 2024) and NIH NINDS UE5 (spring 2025) meetings. It also gives her the opportunity to apply for year 2 funding.
Way to go Malia!
