McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience 2012, USA
Description
The McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience supports innovative research designed to bring science closer to the day when diseases of the brain can be accurately diagnosed, prevented, and treated. To this end, the McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience invites applications for the 2012 McKnight Scholar Awards.
These awards were established to encourage emerging neuroscientists to focus on disorders of learning and memory.

Awards are given to exceptional young scientists who hold the M.D. and/or Ph.D. degree and who are in the early stages of establishing an independent laboratory and research career. Traditionally, successful candidates have held faculty positions for at least one year.
Up to six McKnight Scholars each will receive three years of support, beginning July 1, 2012.

An M.D. and/or Ph.D. degree and have completed formal postdoctoral training;
