 How To Apply: Brain Disorders Awards
The first step is to submit a two-page letter of intent describing how McKnight award support would permit new approaches and accomplishments toward the development of translational research.
The letter should address the following questions:
- What clinical problem are you addressing?
- What are your specific aims?
- How will the knowledge and experience you have gained in basic research be applied to improving the understanding of a brain disorder or disease?
The letter should clearly describe how the proposed research will uncover mechanisms of brain injury or disease and how it will translate to diagnosis, prevention, treatment, or cure.The letter of intent should include the email addresses of the principal investigators and a title for the project.
Selection ProcessA review committee will evaluate the letters and will invite a few candidates to submit complete proposals.
Following review of the proposals, the committee will recommend up to six awards to the Board of Directors of the Endowment Fund. The board will make the final decision.
Awards will be announced in December and begin on February 1 of the following year. See current announcement.
