Grant Description
Fellowships of $35,000 to USA, Canada, and International post-doctoral medical researchers at nonprofit and for-profit institutions to support the establishment of research programs investigating ataxia. Applicants must submit an LOI prior to submitting a full proposal. Underrepresented minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.

Post-doctoral fellowship awards are to serve as a bridge from post-doctoral positions to junior faculty positions. Applicants should have completed at least one year of post-doctoral training, but not more than two at the time of application and should have shown a commitment to research in the field of ataxia. The award will permit individuals to spend an additional third year in a post-doctoral position and increase chances to establish an independent ataxia research program.
