3RD ANNUAL POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP AWARD IN NEUROSCIENCE

We are pleased to announce that the nomination period for the 3rd Annual Warren Alpert Distinguished Scholars Fellowship Award is now open.

The Warren Alpert Distinguished Scholars program will support individual scientists of exceptional creativity who have an MD or PhD degree (or both) and who have completed a minimum of three years  of a post-doctoral fellowship by July 1, 2021 in the field of  neurosciences and hold a post-doctoral research position at a United States medical school, research institute or academic hospital.

The dean or academic research officer of each medical school, academic hospital or research institute located in the United States is invited to nominate one candidate for research in basic or clinical neurosciences. Scholars will be chosen on the basis of the success in their prior post-doctoral work as well as in the importance and creativity of their continued work. The Foundation expects to make five awards in 2021.

These awards are given as a transitional post-doctoral award for recipients to enable their advance to a full-time faculty member at the Assistant Professor level or higher. The medical school, research institute or academic hospital appointing the scholar will be awarded $200,000 annually for two years to cover their salary, lab costs, and related expenses. Under certain circumstances, the awardee may transfer funding in year 2 to support their faculty position.  Indirect cost of up to 15% of direct costs, may be included in the $200,000. All applicants are required to provide 75% effort.
