Target ALS | Springboard Fellowship
Event details
| Date | 02.09.2025 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: Target ALS is especially interested in proposals that tackle fundamental questions of ALS/FTD disease biology for sporadic and genetic forms of the disease. We are looking to support projects that propose mechanistic studies on critical points in the pathological and biochemical cascade of events leading to motor neuron degeneration.
Areas of scientific interest include but are not exclusive to:
Funding: Max $60,000/year
Duration: 24 months (possible 12 months in addition based on progress)
Eligibility: Candidates (US or internationally) that are currently based in their postdoc lab and planning to move to an independent tenure track, or equivalent position, in a different institution within the next three years.
How to Apply: Full application should be submitted in directly on the application portal, using the template document here.
Deadline: 02 September 2025
