The BRAIN Initiative Fellows (F32) program aims to significantly enhance the research training of promising postdoctorates early in their postdoctoral period. Its core purpose is to cultivate productive investigators capable of advancing the ambitious objectives of the BRAIN Initiative, including critical areas like neuroethics. Applicants must propose research training that clearly complements their prior predoctoral work, while also integrating formal training in essential analytical tools relevant to their proposed study. To maximize training potential, this program specifically encourages applications from individuals nearing completion of their doctoral degree (within 12 months of the application due date) and those with no more than 12 months of postdoctoral training by the application deadline.

Description: | The purpose of the The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (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 clearly complements their predoctoral research. Formal training in analytical tools appropriate for the proposed research is expected to be an integral component of the 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 12 months of postdoctoral training. |
