One Mind invites applications for its Rising Star Awards program, due June 1, 2023. The program will grant up to $300,000 to early-career investigators in neuroscience, psychiatry, and related disciplines to support research to accelerate the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of psychiatric disorders. In 2023, the awards program will support grant proposals spanning basic/ preclinical, translational, and clinical research for psychiatric disorders, including but not limited to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorders, and suicidality. Studies at the intersection of addiction/ substance use disorders and psychiatric disorders are within scope. Autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and neurodegenerative disorders are out of scope.
Applicants must be independent investigators (faculty or equivalent) already employed at the rank of assistant or associate professor (or equivalent) in a nonprofit (public or private) academic or non-academic research institution; within 10 years of their initial independent appointment to qualify as an ECI; and should have a doctoral level degree (e.g., MD, PhD, PsyD, PharmD, etc.) with demonstrated academic excellence and research productivity in scientific fields that can be applied to the study of psychiatric disorders.
