Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation: Postdoctoral and Junior Faculty Fellowship Program
Deadline: December 15, 2024
Category: ADHD, Depression,
The Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation awards fellowship grants annually to outstanding post-doctoral or junior faculty candidates who are investigating the causes, prevention, and treatment of children and adolescents with ADHD or depression, especially those from low-income families and under-resourced communities, or other minoritized populations that may have limited supports and resources. The Fellowship supports two-year research projects that could lead to federal funding and other national research awards. The Foundation supports research that produces direct and tangible benefits to children and their families, while also supporting promising, early career scientists. We encourage post-doctoral or junior faculty candidates from underrepresented and minoritized groups to apply.
Only candidates in departments of psychology, psychiatry, pediatrics, developmental pediatrics, social work, or public health who have been nominated by their Department Chair and who have a primary mentor for the project may apply for a fellowship. Department Chairs may nominate only one investigator for each of the two fellowship areas: ADHD and depression. We recommend that the primary mentor be on site; however, if additional expertise is required, off-site mentors may also be engaged. The fellowship application is completed online.
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. or M.D. and have completed all clinical training in their field. Candidates should be at the junior faculty level or on a trajectory for attaining faculty status. The Foundation will consider investigators who are in T32 or other designated research training programs. The investigator should have demonstrated evidence of strong research promise and ability, and a commitment to the field of children’s mental health.
