APPLICATIONS DUE MARCH 1, 2017

The Esther A. & Joseph Klingenstein Fund and the
Simons Foundation announce the opening of its 2017 competition for research fellowships in the neurosciences.

Previously known as the Klingenstein Fellowship Awards in the Neurosciences, this year's awards are the fourth from this joint project of the Klingenstein Fund and the Simons Foundation. The awards are among the nation’s oldest and most illustrious fellowships for young investigators in neuroscience research.

Aimed at advancing cutting-edge investigations, the awards are presented to highly promising, early career scientists. At this critical juncture in young investigators’ careers, when funding can be a challenge, the fellowship awards promote higher-risk, and potentially higher-reward, projects.
