Berman-Topper HD Career Development Fellowship

Description

Funding opportunities for young researchers wishing to study a rare disease like HD can be limited. The Huntington's Disease Society of America (HDSA) believes we must ensure that the pipeline of passionate and bright HD scientists and clinicians remains full, a vision that is shared by the Berman and Topper families. With that in mind and with their support, HDSA is committed to sponsoring innovative lines of scientific inquiry into HD biology by early post-doctoral researchers with a desire to make HD part of their career plan. The goal of this program is to develop the next generation of passionate and innovative HD scientists. Applications are welcome from young scientists/clinicians who are interested in a career in Huntington's disease research or care. Applicants should be no more than 5 years removed from obtaining their PhD or completing their residency/fellowship. Applicants cannot have their own laboratory and must identify an individual who will serve as his or her mentor and supervisor. Application is open to researchers from around the world. Applicants must submit the Administrative Information for applicant, mentor, and university official; Budget and Other Support; Research and Training Plan which includes summary of aims, background, preliminary data, experimental plan, expected milestones, career development plan, personal statement, and citations; and Reference Letters and Institutional Approvals (mentor letter of support; additional optional reference letters; IRB, IACUC, or animal welfare documentation if applicable). Please visit the fellowship's website or contact the Huntington's Disease Society of America for more information.
