Our center is soliciting letters of interest from junior investigators seeking training in Alzheimer’s disease research. Our Research Education Component (REC) Scholars Program will provide selected investigators with training, education, and mentoring to achieve academic success in Alzheimer’s disease research.
Junior faculty and advanced postdoctoral fellows, including those new to Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders (ADRD), are encouraged to submit Letters of Interest. Only US citizens and permanent residents are eligible to receive support. Selected applicants will undergo mentored research experiences that develop state-of-the-art research skills related to ADRD. Individuals from underrepresented groups and from fields outside of ADRD are encouraged to apply.
Applicants will be eligible to receive up to $35,000 per year. Funds may be used for salary, fringe benefits, coursework, travel, and research project-related expenses. Awards may be renewable for a second year.
This opportunity will provide trainees with a structured opportunity to become effective in leading cross-disciplinary, translational, team-science projects on ADRD. The program will support research educational activities to complement the training of a workforce to meet the nation's research needs in ADRD.
The ADRC includes six Cores in addition to the Research and Education core sponsoring this training, which can provide investigators with consultation, education, access to participants, biomarkers, and samples. The cores and the services they provide are:
