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 letters of intent for the 2022 McKnight Technological Innovations in Neuroscience awards.
Matumizi ya Mfuko wa Tuzo
Tuzo hizi zinahimiza na kusaidia wanasayansi wanaofanya kazi katika maendeleo ya riwaya na mbinu za ubunifu za kuelewa kazi ya ubongo. Mfuko wa Endowment una nia jinsi teknolojia mpya inaweza kutumika kufuatilia, kudhibiti, kuchambua, au kufanya kazi kwa mfano wa ubongo katika kiwango chochote, kutoka Masi hadi kiumbe kizima. Teknolojia hiyo inaweza kuchukua fomu yoyote, kutoka kwa vifaa vya biochemical hadi vyombo hadi programu na njia za hisabati. Kwa sababu mpango huo unatafuta kuendeleza na kupanua teknolojia mbali mbali zinazopatikana kwa neuroscience, utafiti msingi wa mbinu zilizopo haitazingatiwa.
Lengo la tuzo za Teknolojia ya Ufundi ni kukuza ushirikiano kati ya mishipa na taaluma zingine; kwa hivyo, maombi ya kushirikiana na ya nidhamu yamalikwa waziwazi. Kwa maelezo ya tuzo za zamani, visit past awardees.
Uhalali
Applicants for the McKnight Tech 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 or higher. Those holding other titles such as Research Professor, Adjunct Professor, Professor Research Track, Visiting 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 has his/her own dedicated institutional resources, laboratory space, and/or facilities. We are interested in geographic, gender, and racial diversity, and we encourage women and communities of color to apply. Funds may be used toward a variety of research activities, but not the recipient’s salary. The candidate’s other sources of funding will be considered when selecting awards. A candidate may not hold another award from the McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience that would overlap in time with the Technological Innovations in Neuroscience award.
Mchakato wa Uchaguzi
There is a two-stage selection process, beginning with a letter of intent (LOI). The selection committee will review the LOIs and invite a few applicants to submit full proposals which will be evaluated on the basis of creativity, the potential benefit of the new approach, and the significance of the problems to be addressed. Up to three awards are made annually, each providing $100,000 per year for two years. LOIs are due on December 6, 2021 (midnight in the last time zone on earth). Full proposals will be due April 25, 2022, and funding begins on August 1, 2022.
Jinsi ya Kuomba
Hatua ya kwanza: Bonyeza hapa kupata Fomu ya LOI ya Stage Moja. PI itahitajika kusanidi jina la mtumiaji na nywila (tafadhalihifadhi jina lako la mtumiaji na nywila kwani utaihitaji katika mchakato wote), jaza karatasi ya mkondoni, na upakie maelezo ya mradi wa kurasa mbili bila kurasa mbili. rejea; picha zozote lazima ziwe ndani ya kikomo cha kurasa mbili. Maelezo na miradi ya marejeo inapaswa kupakiwa kama PDF moja. Kwa PI nyingi, PI moja inapaswa kujaza fomu ya LOI; tafadhali ni pamoja na majina yote ya PI kwenye LOI ya kurasa mbili na ni pamoja na NIH Biosketch kwa kila mchunguzi. Waombaji wote wanapaswa kupanga kurasa za PDF kwa njia ifuatayo:
- LOI ya kurasa mbili
- NIH Biosketch for each investigator
Wanaomaliza utaalikwa kupitia barua pepe kuwasilisha ombi kamili; maagizo ya uwasilishaji yatatolewa wakati huo. Ushindani ni mkubwa sana; waombaji wanakaribishwa kuomba zaidi ya mara moja.
If you do not receive email confirmation of receipt of your LOI within a week of submission, please contact Eileen Maler.
