The Ellison Medical Foundation: New Scholar and Senior Scholar Awards in Neuroscience - LOI

This award is intended to support innovative, basic neuroscience research that often falls outside the scope of traditional funding sources: such research may include projects involving the application of new concepts or new technologies whose feasibility is not yet proven; projects seeking commonalities among social and anti-social behaviors that might yield new insights into neural mechanisms of aggression and related violent disorders; or projects seeking to bring together diverse scientific disciplines in the study of aggression and social behaviors. Those candidates in the first three (3) years of an independent research career will be considered eligible for a New Scholar award and will be evaluated separately. All other applicants are eligible for the Senior Scholar award. Funding: each New Scholar award will be made for up to $100,000 per year, total costs, for a four year period. Senior Scholar awards will be made for up to $150,000 direct costs per year, plus full indirect costs at the institution's NIH negotiated rate, for up to four years. For the 2013 application cycle, any investigator employed by a US-based 501(c)(3) institution, college or university is eligible to submit a letter of intent. The program will support collaborations with non-US researchers when appropriate for the goals of the project.
