NINDS encourages applications for Independent Scientist Awards. This announcement is made together with 11 other NIH components.

The purpose of the award is to foster the development of outstanding scientists and enable them to expand their potential to make significant contributions to their research fields. The award provides 3, 4, or 5 years of salary support and “protected time” for newly independent scientists who can demonstrate the need for a period of intensive research focus to enhance their research careers.

Potential applicants should contact Dr. Stephen Korn, director, Training and Career Development, NINDS; telephone: 301-496-4188; email: korns@ninds.nih.gov. For more information visit http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-09-038.html.
