The William G. Luttge Award for Outstanding Graduate Research in Neuroscience was established through generous support from Dr. Sati Kalra, Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Neuroscience, in honor of Dr. William G. Luttge, the Founding Executive Director of the McKnight Brain Institute.
This prestigious distinction is awarded annually to Neuroscience PhD students who compete in a 15-minute oral presentation. The top three students receive monetary awards, with the first-place winner also earning a place on the commemorative plaque and the opportunity to represent the Neuroscience concentration at the College of Medicine Medical Guild Competition.
