The IDEAS Changemaker Award is for an AAN member who has made a meaningful contribution within their academic institution by increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts within the neurology department.

Dr. Hamilton has shown tremendous dedication to the DEI mission of the neurology department at Penn, and this award recognizes him as one of the best diversity officers in a neurology department in the country.

Dr. Roy Hamilton is an awardee of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Science Diversity Leadership Award for his work "Stimulating Brain Networks for Language and Building Networks in the Black Community to Fight Aphasia"

This project will use network neuroscience tools to find targets for the treatment of post-stroke aphasia through transcranial magnetic stimulation and enhance research diversity by engaging the local Black community.

CZI partnered with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to launch the Science Diversity Leadership program, a funding opportunity that aims to recognize and further the leadership of excellent biomedical researchers who — through their outreach, mentoring, teaching, and leadership — have a record of promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in their scientific fields. 

Roy H. Hamilton, MD, MS, discusses a symposium at the 2022 American Neurological Association’s annual meeting that focused on Alzheimer’s disease and MS and the disproportionate burden that underrepresented groups experience.
