Anticipated Funding:
We anticipate awarding one-year fellowships to two doctoral students and one fellow. Awards for doctoral students will be up to $25,000, and post-doctoral fellows and clinical fellows will be up to $40,000 which can be used for salary, fringe and tuition as needed. Individuals who have received at least $10,000 in MBI funding within the past fiscal year are not eligible to apply for this award. Awardees who make substantial progress in the first year of funding will be considered for a second year of funding.

The following individuals with MBI affiliated laboratories are eligible:
- M.D./Ph.D. or other combination doctoral students
- Ph.D. students

- Assistant Scientist, Masters students, or anybody who is not doing neuroscience related research.
- If you accept another fellowship during the funding period, the MBI award will immediately terminate.
- Individuals who have received at least $10,000 in MBI funding within the past fiscal year.
Award Criteria:
- Quality of the applicant (and lab, if applicable). It is important for applicant’s laboratory to have sufficient funding to support the trainee’s research.
