Objectiu de la convocatòria
NYSCF is soliciting applications from early career investigators with the potential to transform the field of neuroscience. Applicants are encouraged in all areas of neuroscience and they need not be working in areas related to stem cells or related areas.
Característiques principals
New this year, we especially encourage applications from neuroscientists whose research is focused on human systems. This might include research using patient-derived model systems and approaches using samples or data (genomic, epidemiological, imaging, real-world data, etc.) collected from individuals or human populations.
