Objectives/Outcomes:

Recent discoveries in the neurosciences offer promising opportunities for improved therapies for neurological disorders. As part of its mission to reduce the burden of neurological disease, NINDS is committed to encouraging the "translation" of these basic discoveries into new treatments. This PA invites applications for a career development award to enable investigators to build a program of translational research in neurological disorders under the guidance of an experienced mentor. This opportunity is available to investigators with a Ph.D. (or equivalent research-intensive degree) who are at an early stage in establishing an independent research career, and investigators with a clinical doctoral degree or a Ph.D. in a clinical discipline. Applicants should have significant postdoctoral or clinical fellowship experience or a junior faculty appointment at the applicant organization. It is important for the institution to be committed to the applicant for the duration of the training experience, and a pending faculty appointment for an applicant still in a postdoctoral training or fellowship position is appropriate.
