Hello,

I am reaching out to you to ask whether you could distribute this info to your Neuroscience colleagues regarding an IBRO Award competition for early career faculty in a Neuroscience-related field.

I am a representative on the IBRO (International Brain Research Organization) US/CANADA Regional Committee. We have a call for applications for its IBRO Rising Star Award, for early career faculty in Canada and the US. There are two awards, 1 for US, and 1 for Canada, for 45,000 EUR. The Award is for early career faculty in a neuroscience-related field from diverse and/or underrepresented backgrounds, and who do not have substantial start-up funds or grant support from other agencies. The Application deadline is October 11th, 2023.

The IBRO Rising Stars Awards aim to increase the successful transition and retention of diverse, early-career neuroscientists into academic positions by providing funds to make a significant difference in their research endeavors.

The award supports the research needs of early career faculty from diverse and/or underrepresented backgrounds (racial/ethnic minorities, sexual orientation, disability, etc) and early career faculty who do not have substantial start-up funds or grant support from other agencies.
