Harvard Brain Science Initiative: HBI Postdoctoral Pioneers Program

Harvard Brain Science Initiative: HBI Postdoctoral Pioneers Program

Deadline Month: October (LOI) and November (full application)

Description: Harvard Brain Science Initiative (HBI) aims to support postdocs who serve as pioneers in their labs by taking on new or risky projects. The program offers one to two year fellowships to mid- to late-stage postdocs who have completed at least two years of full time postdoctoral work in their current lab and who are conducting basic neuroscience research in areas outside of their lab’s established focus. Fellowships are meant to be flexible and enhance productivity at a critical time in the postdoc’s career. Expenses that are covered include (as examples) postdoc salary, the salary of a technician directly supporting the postdoc’s project, professional development opportunities, and/or specialized research supplies needed for the postdoc’s project.
