Description
The Simons Foundation's Fellows-to-Faculty Award is designed to aid promising early-career scientists as they move from mentored, non-independent research positions to tenure-track or equivalent independent faculty roles. The program offers support during the final phase of postdoctoral training and provides a subsequent three-year faculty research grant, with the goal of nurturing innovation and broadening the community of researchers in autism, plasticity and the aging brain, and ecological neuroscience. Awardees join a vibrant network of investigators and gain access to resources to help establish their independent research programs aligned with the foundation's scientific missions.
