The McKnight Brain Research Foundation (MBRF) and the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR) Specialty Area: Neurology; Aging; Memory Loss Grant: Innovator Awards Deadline: 8/12/2025 Have completed research training prior to the beginning of this award: o PhD candidates: no more than 7 years from the completion of formal post-doctoral research training post-PhD, o MD or combined degree candidates: no more than 12 years from the date when finished residency. Exceptions to the 7 and 12 year limits may be considered for certain life events (e.g. familial, personal commitments or other exceptional circumstances). Be an independent investigator at the rank of Assistant Professor or Associate Professor (promoted to the rank of Associate Professor no earlier than October 1, 2022), who has received R01 funding (or equivalent funding such as an NIH DP5, R35 or NSF Research awards.) Be tenure-track faculty or equivalent in an academic or non-profit institution with evidence of long-term institutional support as indicated by commitment of resources including independent laboratory space, start-up research funds and personnel. Candidates not in a tenure-track position are also eligible and should demonstrate similar evidence of long-term institutional support and not be in a time-limited appointment. The program does not provide support for: Senior faculty, i.e., at the rank of Associate Professor or higher who have held this position before October 1, 2022. Assistant Professors who have not yet received R01 or equivalent extramural independent funding. |
The major goal of the program is to identify emerging scientific leaders by building a cadre of outstanding research scientists across the United States to lead transformative research in the field of cognitive aging. One award will be made to support innovative studies focusing on clinical translational research and another will support innovative studies of basic biological mechanisms underlying cognitive aging and age-related memory loss. It is expected that the proposed research will yield transformative discoveries and thus proposals are invited that are high risk/high gain in nature and that would be less suitable for conventional sources of funding. For example, this support could be deployed towards conducting a pilot clinical trial, developing proof-of concept interventions to ameliorate age associated cognitive impairment, gather preclinical data to accelerate testing of potential interventions, and further study the mechanistic basis of age-associated cognitive impairment in relevant experimental models with a view to identifying novel treatment targets. Scientists proposing to pursue basic research should clearly articulate the potential of their findings to be translated into clinically relevant strategies, and/or treatments. Research studies at the intersection of age-associated cognitive changes and disease-related cognitive impairment may be considered if a strong case can be made for their relevance to cognitive aging and age-related memory loss. However, research that is primarily focused on neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease) will not be supported. |
