Applications for the McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience Scholar Award are due January 15, 2024.
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 Endowment Fund for Neuroscience invites applications for the 2024 McKnight Scholar Awards.
목적
McKnight Scholar Awards는 독립적인 실험실 및 연구 경력을 구축하는 초기 단계에 있는 뛰어난 젊은 과학자에게 수여됩니다. 이 프로그램의 목적은 이러한 과학자들이 뇌 연구에 중요한 영향을 미칠 연구 경력에 대한 헌신을 촉진하는 것입니다. 이 프로그램은 모든 수준의 훈련에서 소외된 그룹의 신경과학자들을 멘토링하는 데 전념하는 과학자들을 지원하고자 합니다. McKnight Scholar Award 지원자는 기초 연구를 임상 실습으로 번역하는 것을 포함하여 신경과학의 중요한 문제를 해결할 수 있는 능력을 입증해야 합니다. 그들은 공평하고 포용적인 실험실 환경에 대한 약속을 보여주어야 합니다.
적임
Applicants for the McKnight Scholar Award must be independent investigators at not-for-profit research institutions in the United States and must hold a faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor and must have served at that rank for less than five years at the application deadline (exceptions made be made for parental leave). Individuals holding other titles such as Instructor, Research Assistant Professor, Adjunct Assistant Professor, or Instructor are not eligible. If the host institution does not use professorial titles, a letter from a senior institutional official (e.g. Dean or Director of Research) must confirm that the applicant controls their own dedicated institutional resources, laboratory space, and/or facilities. We seek to enhance geographic, gender, and racial diversity in neuroscience, and we encourage women and members of communities of color to apply. Applicants may not apply in more than two rounds of competition, have already been granted tenure, or hold another award from the McKnight Endowment Fund.
Please note that from 2024 Forward, the period of eligibility for Scholar Awards has been extended to five years.
