Description

The Hereditary Disease Foundation accepts Letters of Intent (LOIs) for postdoctoral fellowships every year. HDF provides funding to researchers to advance the discovery and development of treatments for Huntington's disease and other brain diseases. The Hereditary Disease Foundation Postdoctoral Researcher Fellowships are intended to cultivate interest in Huntington's disease research by encouraging promising early career scientists (postdoctoral fellows or up to 7 years past completion of PhD). HDF awards two-year fellowships of up to $100,000 per year. Awarded postdoctoral researchers cannot apply for additional postdoctoral funding. The Hereditary Disease Foundation gives highest priority to funding investigators with the most innovative and impactful proposals to advance Huntington's disease research and therapeutics. Moreover, HDF gives priority to the early career stage investigators, including postdoctoral fellows, who are committed to a career in HD research.
