McKnight Foundation Invites LOIs for Technological Innovations in Neuroscience Awards
SOURCE: McKnight Foundation
APPLICATION DEADLINE: Letter of Intent: Dec. 6, 2021. Selected applicants will be invited to submit a full application by April 25, 2022.
$ AVAILABLE: In 2022, up to three grants will be awarded, each providing $100,000 per year for two years.
ELIGIBILITY: Applicants for the McKnight Tech Award must be independent investigators at nonprofit research institutions in the United States
and must hold a faculty position at the rank of assistant professor or higher. Those holding other titles such as research professor, adjunct professor, professor research track, visiting professor, or instructor are not eligible.
PURPOSE: The McKnight Foundation is inviting applications for its Technological Innovations in Neuroscience Awards. The program aims to advance and enlarge the range of technologies available to the neurosciences but does not support research based primarily on existing techniques. Because the goal of the Technological Innovations awards is to foster collaboration between the neurosciences and other disciplines, collaborative and cross-disciplinary applications are explicitly invited.
