The Wisconsin Neurological Society is now accepting applications for the Bennett Hiner Research Award.  The Award is presenting to a medical student enrolled at one of the state’s medical schools in recognition for extra-ordinary service, leadership and research in the neurosciences.

This award is in memory of Bennett Hiner, son of long time Society member Dr. Bradley Hiner.  Bennett passed away unexpectedly in November 2011. He was an enthusiastic and accomplished young man who was a leader in his medical school class at the University of Southern California and actively involved in neuroscience research.

Qualified applicants are medical students must be enrolled at either the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, or the Medical College of Wisconsin; have completed neuroscience research within two (2) years of application for this award; have demonstrated leadership experience while enrolled in medical school; and have submitted the application and research abstract.  An application form is available by clicking here.

Medical students should submit their applications and abstracts to the WNS Office by July 31, 2017. A winner will be selected by August 31, and notified in early September.  The Society will invite the Award winner to the WNS Annual Conference, during lunch on Saturday, October 28 at the Osthoff Resort in Sheboygan.
