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.
