| Description: | The NFRP Postdoctoral Traineeship Award mechanism is new for FY09. The Postdoctoral Traineeship Award will enable recent medical or other doctoral degree graduates to obtain the necessary experience to pursue an independent career in neurofibromatosis research. Candidates for this award should exhibit a strong desire to pursue a career in neurofibromatosis research. Under this award mechanism, the postdoctoral trainee is considered the Principal Investigator (PI) and, as such, should write the project narrative with appropriate direction from the mentor. The focus of these awards is on the PI, the mentor, and the training program and environment. These awards primarily provide salary support for the PI and require the active involvement of a designated mentor who is an established NF researcher, as evidenced by a demonstrated record of funding and publications. While the PI is not required to have previous experience in NF research, this proposal must focus on NF research. See the Program Announcement for the full Funding Opportunity Description. |
