2021 Best Negative Data Prize in Clinical Neuroscience

Application in now open!

The ECNP Negative Results Prize in Clinical Neuroscience recognises those who have made exceptional contributions to CNS treatment development by publishing clinical research with negative findings.

Extending its previous sponsorship of the Best Negative Data Prize for results in preclinical neuroscience, as of 2021 the U.S.-based non-profit research organisation Cohen Veterans Bioscience (CVB) will provide a cash prize of US$ 10,000 to accompany the award.
