The Department of Defense (DoD) offers the Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Career Transition Award (CARTA). This grant is specifically designed to support researchers in TSC during their critical transition from postdoctoral training to independent faculty positions. The award covers up to two years of postdoctoral training followed by up to two years in a faculty-level role, with the postdoctoral candidate serving as the Principal Investigator. Key requirements include clearly articulated career transition and development plans, the naming of a mentor for guidance during the postdoctoral period, and the inclusion of preliminary data relevant to TSC research. Clinical trials are not permitted under this mechanism. This initiative aims to foster the development of independent TSC researchers.
