Call for Applications: Ellison Medical Foundation Neuroscience Scholar Award Program

Call for Applications: Ellison Medical Foundation Neuroscience Scholar Award Program Since 1998, The Ellison Medical Foundation has been actively engaged in supporting fundamental research on the Biology of Aging and age-related disease mechanisms. The Foundation is now pleased to announce an additional funding opportunity under the Foundation's new Neuroscience Scholar Awards Program. Like the Foundation's ongoing Biology of Aging Scholar Awards program, the Neuroscience Scholars program is intended to provide researchers with the support and resources to develop innovative research programs aimed at gaining insight into the fundamental molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie normal biological function, and when dysfunctional, lead to illness. Through a series of focused workshops, the EMF Scientific Advisory Board has sought to identify topics in fundamental Neuroscience research that hold promise for significant scientific progress and yet the research funding to support that progress is inadequate. As a result of this review, the SAB has chosen an initial focus for the Neuroscience Scholars program on the "Neuroscience of Aggressive Behavior". The goal of this program is to stimulate and nurture innovative research that seeks to gain an understanding of the neurobiological basis of aggression and related behaviors, and of the environmental and genetic factors that contribute to violence and anti-social disorders. A first round of Neur...
