Postdoctoral Fellowships

This funding is for postdoctoral training specialization in the field of SCI and to prepare the fellow to move into an independent research position. Fellowships directly support the applicant (Fellow) while they are mentored (or co-mentored) by an investigator experienced in SCI research. The proposal should be written by the Fellow, with input from the mentor(s). Key criteria include how the training and environment provided by the mentor(s) will enhance the Fellow’s research career and qualifications, as well as the scientific merit of the proposal and its relevance to the Neilsen Foundation’s mission.

Funding for the two-year project is up to $100,000/year for a maximum total cost of $200,000.
