ASAP has taken an important step forward in the drive to "Find A Cure", by awarding grants to three distinguished researchers. The recipients, Dr. Frank Loth at the University of Illinois-Chicago, Dr. Joshua Adler at Wayne State University and Dr. Mary Eaton at the University of Miami will each receive a one year, $50,000 grant to pursue research focused on syringomyelia.

   The research grants are the culmination of a process, defined by the Research Committee, which started with a call for proposals. By advertising in major journals, posting on the ASAP web site and through a direct mailing to medical schools, ASAP was able to attract a wide range of quality proposals.
