Foundation
Brain & Behavior Research Foundation (BBRF) - Young Investigator Grants
Upcoming deadlines: Full application - 23 March.
Amount: $70,000USD. The Foundation’s BBRF Young Investigator Grant (YI) program offers up to $35,000 a year for up to two (2) years.
Eligibility: The YI Grant is intended to support advanced post-doctoral fellows, instructors and assistant professors (or equivalent). Pre-doctoral students, first year post-doctoral fellows, faculty who serve(d) as a principal investigator (PI) on a NIH R01 grant are not eligible. Investigators at the rank of associate professor or equivalent are also not eligible (assistant professors who serve(d) as a principal investigator (PI) on a NIH R01 or equivalent grant are now eligible for the BBRF Independent Investigator Grant). Applicants must have an on-site mentor or senior collaborator who is an established investigator in areas relevant to psychiatric disorders. The mentor/sponsor role is usually extensive for fellowship extension (mentor), and more senior colleague/advisor (sponsor) for an applicant prepared to initiate independent science. Applicants may only apply twice for an initial BBRF Young Investigator Grant.
Abstract: BBRF Young Investigator Grants provide each scientist with funding to enable promising investigators to either extend research fellowship training or begin careers as independent research faculty. The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation awarded the first Young Investigator Grant in 1987. The goal of the YI program is to help researchers launch careers in neuroscience and psychiatry and gather pilot data to apply for larger federal and university grants.

Target ALS - Springboard Fellowship
Upcoming deadlines: 21 April
Amount: $220,000USD over 3 years. Springboard Fellowship funding will cover the following project components: Researcher salaries and fringe benefits; Lab supplies, materials, and equipment; Research associated costs up to 15% of the award (e.g. lab’s rent); Costs of accessing Target ALS core facilities throughout the period of the award; A speaker slot at the Target ALS annual meeting, held in Boston, MA.; Support to establish a Mentorship Committee to contribute specialized expertise and career development advice.
The initial grant will be for a two-year period, with a funding maximum of $60,000 per year. Springboard fellows that have accepted an offer for an independent tenure track or equivalent position in a different institution will be eligible for a $100,000 third year grant. Fellows that accept a tenure track position before the project’s third year will have the option to take any unspent grant funding to their new lab.
Eligibility: Candidates that are currently based in their postdoc lab and planning to move to an independent tenure track, or equivalent position in a different institution, within the next three years. The candidate and their current Principal Investigator must propose a project plan together that the candidate can continue in their independent lab. The current Principal Investigator must confirm that the candidate will be allowed to dedicate at least 50% of their time on the project.
Abstract: The Springboard Fellowship is focused on supporting senior lab fellows to transition to an independent academic tenure track or equivalent position and interested in ALS research. Target ALS is especially interested in proposals that apply novel methods to tackle fundamental questions of biology, drug development, and biomarker identification for ALS or ALS/FTD. We are looking to support projects that propose: Identification, validation, and development of new targets for therapeutics; or Development of biomarkers, tools, and technologies to facilitate human proof-of-biology studies.
Morton Cure Paralysis Fund (MCPF) - Research grants
Upcoming deadlines: 30 April
Amount: Most research awards range from $5,000 to $75,000 and are based on one-year contracts. A second year may be considered contingent upon the grantee submitting a six-month progress report, a 12-month progress report and a continuation application that is favorably reviewed by MCPF’s Grant Committee.
Eligibility: Qualified scientists at capable institutions will be considered for grant applications. Either senior scientists or postdoctoral fellows may serve as principal investigators.
Abstract: The Morton Cure Paralysis Fund (MCPF) is committed to developing effective therapies (cures) for paralysis associated with spinal cord injury and other disorders of the central nervous system (CNS). MCPF funds activities that hold promise of identifying therapies (cures) for paralysis in humans. MCPF has particular focus of placing projects in the research pipeline, that is, enabling scientists to develop the proof concept data necessary to apply for larger NIH grants. The development of effective therapies for chronic injury is a high priority for the organization. Basic research will be supported if it has clear potential to accelerate progress at the applied end of the continuum and/or if it reflects innovative research or a ‘change of direction.’
