The Department of Defense (DoD) is offering the Neurofibromatosis Postdoctoral Traineeship Award to enable recent medical or doctoral degree graduates to gain experience for an independent career in Neurofibromatosis (NF) research. This grant is specifically designed to provide salary support for postdoctoral trainees, who act as the Principal Investigator. Applicants must demonstrate a strong commitment to NF research. The award emphasizes the trainee, their designated mentor (an established NF researcher), and the overall training program and environment. While previous NF research experience for the PI is not mandatory, all proposed projects must focus on NF research. This established program, first offered in FY09, aims to foster future independent NF investigators.

| Description: | The NFRP Postdoctoral Traineeship Award mechanism was first offered in FY09 as the Postdoctoral Traineeship Award. Since then, 18 applications have been received, and 11 have been recommended for funding. The intent of the training award is to enable recent medical or other doctoral degree graduates to obtain the necessary experience to pursue an independent career in NF research. Candidates for this award must demonstrate a strong desire to pursue a career in NF research. Under this award mechanism, the postdoctoral trainee is considered the Principal Investigator (PI) and, as such, should write the project narrative with appropriate direction from the mentor. The focus of these awards is on the PI, the mentor, and the training program and environment. These awards primarily provide salary support for the PI and require the active involvement of a designated mentor who is an established NF researcher, as evidenced by a demonstrated record of past and/or current funding and publications. While the PI is not required to have previous experience in NF research, applications for this award must focus on NF research. |
