The Brain Research Foundation’s Scientific Innovations Award Program provides funding for innovative science in both basic and clinical neuroscience. This funding mechanism supports creative, exploratory, cutting edge research in well-established research laboratories under the direction of established investigators. Studies should be related to either normal human brain development or specifically identified disease states. This includes molecular and clinical neuroscience as well as studies of neural, sensory, motor, cognitive, behavioral and emotional functioning in health and disease. It is expected that investigations supported by these grants will yield high impact findings and result in major grant applications and significant publications in high impact journals. Complete guidelines for the 2021 award cycle are available on the Brain Research Foundation website.

This is a limited submission opportunity and Harvard may put forward only one nominee to submit a Letter of Intent to the sponsor. The Office of the Vice Provost for Research will conduct the internal competition to select the Harvard nominee. To be considered for the Harvard nomination, potential applicants must submit an internal pre-proposal via the link above.
