NARSAD: The Mental Health Research Association Accepting Applications for Young Investigator Award Program
NARSAD: The Mental Health Research Association Accepting Applications for Young Investigator Award Program
NARSAD: The Mental Health Research Association is accepting applications for the Young Investigator Award Program, which provides support for the most promising young scientists conducting neurobiological research.
The program provides one- and two-year awards of up to $30,000 per year to enable promising investigators to either extend research fellowship training or begin careers as independent research faculty. Basic and/or clinical investigators are supported, but research must be relevant to serious psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, or child and adolescent psychiatric disorders.
To be eligible, the applicant must have a doctoral level degree (e.g., M.D., Ph.D., Psy.D., etc.) and already be employed in research training, or be in a faculty or independent research position. The award is intended to support postdoctoral fellows, instructors, and assistant professors (or equivalent). Pre-doctoral students or investigators at the rank of associate professor or equivalent are not eligible. The applicant must have an on-site mentor or senior collaborator who is an established investigator in areas relevant to psychiatric disorders.
Fifteen Young Investigators are selected each year to present at NARSAD's annual Scientific Symposium in New York City. Young Investigators are also eligible to be selected for NARSAD's Freedman Award for Outstanding Basic Research and Klerman Award for Outstanding Clinical Research.
