Key Information: Research must focus on FTD; both U.S. and international postdocs eligible; cannot hold two fellowships concurrently.
The AFTD Holloway Postdoctoral Fellowship provides two years of support to outstanding postdoctoral scientists conducting innovative research on frontotemporal degeneration (FTD). The fellowship aims to foster long-term commitment to FTD research by enabling early-career investigators to advance their scientific training and develop independent research careers. Projects may address any aspect of FTD, including basic, translational, clinical, outcomes, or public health research, but must focus specifically on FTD (projects solely focused on other neurodegenerative diseases are ineligible).
