Disorders of the Corpus Callosum Conference
Research Scholarship Application

The purpose of the National Organization for Disorders of the Corpus Callosum (NODCC) is to raise the profile, understanding and acceptance of disorders of the corpus callosum (DCC) through education, networking, advocacy, and research facilitation. Our mission is to help enhance the quality of life and promote opportunities for individuals living with a disorder of the corpus callosum.

Research on the causes and behavioral outcomes of DCC has gained great momentum over the past 20 years. Through this work, the picture of DCC related developmental challenges and changes across the lifespan is coming into focus. In turn, insights about the physical, educational, social, and emotional patterns in DCC form the foundation of current and future interventions.

The NODCC offers a limited number of scholarships to attend the 2026 Disorders of the Corpus Callosum (DCC) Conference hosted by the NODCC to be held July 23 – July 25 to graduate, doctoral, medical students involved in the investigative research of medical, genetic, neurological, psychological, cognitive, behavioral, developmental and educational issues relating to disorders of the corpus callosum and researchers investigating disorders of the
corpus callosum.

The conference will be held at the Renaissance Concourse Atlanta Airport Hotel located at One Hartsfield Centre Parkway, Atlanta, GA 30354. The Research Scholarship includes complimentary DCC Conference registration featuring three days of 50 informative lectures and discussion groups grouped into five tracks under the headings of Medical, Therapies, Behaviors, Education, and Financial/Community Life, all conference meals, up to four nights lodging at the Renaissance Concourse Atlanta Airport Hotel & a $300 travel stipend.
