Summary
Early-career researchers focused on neurological conditions may be eligible for a significant funding opportunity designed to support their transition into independent academic roles. This grant program offers long-term financial support over a three-year period, with total funding available up to $300,000. The funds may be used to support a portion of the recipient’s salary, research-related expenses, and institutional costs, with a focus on career development and scientific advancement. While the funding is generous, it comes with specific benchmarks to ensure continued progress, including the expectation of submitting a larger, nationally competitive research proposal during the award period.
This opportunity is intended for individuals who are at an early stage of their professional academic journey, typically within tenure-track faculty positions. Applicants should hold an advanced degree such as an MD or PhD and be based in either the United States or Canada.
The grant prioritizes those who have not yet received major independent funding, making it especially beneficial for new investigators aiming to establish their own research programs.
Though competitive, this grant is designed to open doors for researchers from a variety of institutions, and special consideration may be given to those from historically underrepresented backgrounds. The application process is conducted in phases, beginning with an initial letter of interest followed by a full proposal submission upon invitation.
While not available every year, this opportunity is offered on a recurring basis and provides meaningful support to emerging leaders in the biomedical research community. It reflects a commitment to innovation, academic growth, and the long-term advancement of knowledge in the field. Nonprofit academic institutions are the primary beneficiaries, with funding directed toward supporting individuals working within these settings across North America. This opportunity does not extend to for-profit businesses or general nonprofits outside of academic or clinical research environments.
Organizations and individuals based in New York who are engaged in Awards may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
