[Eeglablist] U.S. BRAIN initiative fellows program

[Scott Makeig]

The following RFA (RFA-MH-17-250
<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-MH-17-250.html>) was
published earlier this week, with a receipt date of Feb. 15, 2017.  Likely
they require U.S. citizenship or permanent residency, but should be good
opportunities for winning proposers.   -Scott Makeig



*BRAIN Initiative Fellows: Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service
Award (NRSA) Individual Postdoctoral Fellowship (F32). *The purpose of the
BRAIN Initiative Fellows (F32) program is to enhance the research training
of promising postdoctorates, early in their postdoctoral training period,
who have the potential to become productive investigators in research areas
that will advance the goals of the BRAIN Initiative. Applications are
encouraged in any research area that is aligned with the BRAIN Initiative,
including neuroethics. Applicants are expected to propose research training
in an area that complements their predoctoral research. Formal training in
quantitative perspectives and analytical tools is expected to be an
integral part of the proposed research training plan. In order to maximize
the training potential of the F32 award, this program encourages
applications from individuals who have not yet completed their terminal
doctoral degree and who expect to do so within 12 months of the application
due date. On the application due date, candidates may not have completed
more than 6 months of postdoctoral training. This program is intended to
support early postdoctoral training, which is why the RFA explicitly
encourages applications from individuals who’ve not yet received their
PhD.  We’re encouraging applications for mentored training in all areas
relevant to the BRAIN Initiative, including neuroethics.  Note that the
mentor(s) for these applications are not required to be PIs on BRAIN
Initiative awards. Rather, the proposed mentored research project must be
relevant to the scientific goals of the BRAIN 2025 Report.
