The Ruth K. Broad Biomedical Research Foundation’s International Award supports an international postdoctoral fellow of non-U.S. origin for two years of research broadly related to neurodegenerative diseases. The fellowship supports the fellow’s research within this broad scientific area rather than specifying a single disease or narrowly defined research topic.
The Foundation was established in 1988 to honor Ruth K. Broad’s memory and expand knowledge toward the cause and cure of Alzheimer’s disease. Managed at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, it funds neuroscience research with a particular interest in work that may advance knowledge or treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
