The Scientific Innovations Award supports creative, exploratory neuroscience research projects that are too innovative for traditional funding. It targets senior investigators at US academic institutions studying brain function in health and disease. The award provides $150,000 over two years to fund new, unfunded projects in basic and clinical neuroscience, aiming to generate high-impact results and subsequent major grant applications.
Eligible applicants are full-time associate or full professors at invited US academic institutions studying brain function in health and disease. Evidence of current or recent major peer-reviewed funding is preferred. Only one nomination per institution is allowed.
