Jinsi ya Kuomba

Vifaa vya maombi kwa Tuzo za Wasomi za McK Night zinapatikana mnamo Agosti / Septemba kila mwaka. Waombaji lazima waonyeshe nia ya kutatua shida muhimu katika maeneo husika ya neuroscience.

Ili kuomba, mchunguzi wa kanuni atahitaji kufuata hatua hizi:

• Pakua hati ya "Utumizi na Miongozo" iliyo kwenye baraza ya kulia. Miongozo hii itatoa maelezo muhimu zaidi kuhusu hatua zilizoorodheshwa hapo chini. Tafadhali rejelea hati ya miongozo kote.
• Sanidi jina la mtumiaji na nywila kwa kutumia kiunga cha "Anza Maombi" kilicho kwenye kando ya kulia.

(tafadhalihifadhi jina lako la mtumiaji na nywila kwa matumizi ya baadaye)

• Baada ya kuingia, jaza karatasi ya uso mkondoni.
• Pakia programu nzima kama PDF moja, pamoja na:

1. Karatasi ya uso iliyokamilishwa.
2. Mchoro wa kiografia katika muundo wa NIH.
3. Description of the proposed research project. Applicants should propose experiments based on their best work. The proposal should be introduced with an abstract of 200 words or less, followed by a detailed statement of plans for the three-year research program. The proposed research does not need to present a totally new line of research, but it should not be identical to projects supported by other funders. The proposal (abstract, narrative and figures, but not bibliography) should not exceed six numbered, single-spaced pages, in 12-point font with one-inch margins.
4. Proposed budget. The applicant should indicate how he/she/they proposes to use the McKnight Scholar Award funds ($225,000 paid in equal installments of $75,000 in 2021, 2022, and 2023). Allowable budget items include salaries and fringe benefits, equipment, supplies, animal costs, costs for technical services, etc. The application should include itemized budgets for each year, in a tabulated column/dollar amount format; narrative budgets are not acceptable. Fedha haziwezi kutumika kwa gharama za ziada au zisizo za moja kwa moja.
5. List of Active and Pending Funding (annual direct costs to lab).
6. Taarifa kutoka kwa afisa anayehusika wa kifedha katika taasisi ya kudhamini.
7. Kuunga mkono habari kutoka kwa mwenyekiti wa mwombaji katika taasisi ya kudhamini.
8. Machapisho mitano ya hivi karibuni.

• Marejeo minne kutoka kwa walimu wa zamani, wasimamizi, au wenzake wakuu wanaojua kazi ya mwombaji. Barua za kumbukumbu lazima zilipelekwe kando na kwa ujasiri na watu wanne waliotajwa kama marejeleo kwenye karatasi ya uso wa maombi.

Mchakato wa Uchaguzi

Ya Kamati ya ukaguzi wa McKnight Scholar Awards (to be updated Fall 2020) will evaluate the applications and select a limited number of applicants to be interviewed. Applicants will be notified in late March and interviews are scheduled for Thursday, April 22 in New York City.

The committee recommends candidates to the Board of Directors of the Endowment Fund for final decision. Awards will be announced in late May 2021.

Uhalali

In this competition, up to six McKnight Scholars will be selected to receive three years of support, beginning July 1, 2021.

A candidate for a McKnight Scholar Award must work as an independent investigator at a not-for-profit research institution 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 four years at the application deadline. Those holding other titles such as Research Assistant Professor, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Professor Research Track, Visiting Professor or Instructor are not eligible, and time spent in service in those ranks does not count against the four years of service for determining eligibility. 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.

A candidate may not hold another award from the McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience that would overlap in time with the Scholar award. A candidate cannot apply in more than two rounds of competition for a Scholar Award.

Kiasi na Kusudi la Msaada

Each McKnight Scholar will receive $75,000 annually in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Funds may be used in any way that will facilitate development of the Scholar’s research program, but not for indirect costs.
