Applications Open: 2024 Neurobiology of Brain Disorders Award

LOIs for the McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience Neurobiology of Brain Disorders Award are due Monday, November 6, 2023 (last time zone on earth).

The McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience supports innovative research designed to bring science closer to the day when diseases of the brain can be accurately diagnosed, prevented, and treated. To this end, the McKnight Neurobiology of Brain Disorders Award (NBD Award) assists scientists working to apply the knowledge achieved through basic research to human brain disorders, and who demonstrate a commitment to equitableinclusive lab environment에스. 

목적

We are interested in proposals that address the biological mechanisms of neurological and psychiatric disorders. includes proposals that prov나는de mechanistic insights 으로 neurological functions at the synaptic, cellular, molecular, genetic or behavioral level across different species, including humansvertebrate and invertebrate model organisms. 새로운 additional area of interest is the contribution of the environment to brain disorders. We are particularly interested in proposals that incorporate new approaches~에 those that provide potential paths for therapeutic interventions. Collaborative and cross-disciplinary applications are encouraged.
