Purpose The Child Neurology Foundation
Advocacy Award of Merit was created in 2002 through the
efforts of its Board of Directors and the Foundation’s
Advocacy Committee. The award recognizes a patient support
organization making outstanding achievements on behalf of
patients and families with neurologic and developmental
disorders.
Eligibility Eligible patient support organizations
must be a not-for-profit organization; a copy of a letter
confirming a 501 (c) 3 non-profit status must be included
with this application.
Judging Submitted nominations will
be reviewed by the membership of the Advocacy Committee
of the Child Neurology Foundation. Three finalists will
be selected from the group of candidates and will be forwarded
to the CNF’s Board of Directors for final consideration.
Instructions The nominee’s contributions
must be clearly documented and each of the four components
of the nomination must be completely addressed to ensure that
the nomination is competitively reviewed. All nominations must
be typed and submitted on the nomination form.
Only one nomination per form
is permitted. The form may be copied as needed, but if retyped
may not exceed three (3) pages.
A letter of support from a Child
Neurologist must be submitted with each nomination; two (2)
additional letters of support from Child Neurologists may
also be included—for a maximum of three (3). Additional
attachments (e.g. programs, outlines, reviews, etc.) must
be limited to no more than five (5) pages total. Only those
audiovisuals which illustrate how the nominee meets the criteria
of a particular segment should be submitted with the nomination
and two copies of each pertinent audiovisual should be provided.
The award recipient will be recognized and honored formally
during the Annual Meeting of the Child Neurology Society held
in Quebec City in Fall 2007.
