National Ataxia Foundation Young Investigator Award
Letter of Intent Due Date: August 1, 2010Application due: September 1, 2010
The Young Investigator Award was created to encourage young clinical and scientific investigators to pursue a career in the field of ataxia research. It is our hope that ataxia research will be invigorated by the work of young, talented individuals supported by this award. Candidates must have attained an MD or PhD degree, and have an appointment as a junior faculty member.
Individuals at the Associate Professor level are not eligible. Clinicians must have finished their residency no more than five (5) years prior to applying. Each recipient will receive a one-year $35,000-$50,000 award. This award will be made to the sponsoring institution and will be used as salary support or for direct research expenses. Awards are for direct cost only, not for indirect costs or institutional overhead.
The sponsoring institution must agree in writing to the following provision: a clinical investigator (MD) must befree to allocate a minimum of half time (50%) for a project; a non–clinician investigator (PhD) must allocate a minimum of three-fourths time (75%) for the project. Periodic progress reports may be required.
Due to the larger availability of funding for Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T), those research proposals will receive a lower priority. However, a higher ranking will be given to those Ataxia-Telangiectasia research studies which lend themselves to an overall better understanding of the ataxia process.

National Niemann-Pick Disease Foundation Peter G. Pentchev Research Fellowship
The National Niemann-Pick Disease Foundation (NNPDF) invites applications for post-doctoral research fellowships examining the biology of Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC) disease, a lethal neurodegenerative disease for which there are no effective therapies. M.D., Ph.D. and D.V.M. postdoctoral researchers are eligible to apply for funding to improve our understanding of the biology and pathogenesis of NPC disease. Preference will be given to research projects developing new therapies for NPC, and identifying biomarkers of disease activity for diagnosis and clinical trials. The fellowships provide support of $50,000 per annum for two years and may be renewable based on performance. Applicants must be currently associated with a recognized laboratory. Applications are due May 1, 2010, and should be submitted by email to the Research Committee Chair. Applicants will be informed of the funding decision by August 15, 2010, via email. Fellowships will be awarded to begin September 1, 2010. For further information please contact Janet Ward Pease, Research Committee Chair, National Niemann-Pick Disease Foundation.
