  • A two page summary of the proposed research. Minimum 10 pt font. Graphics and/or references may be placed on consecutive blank pages after the summary.
  • A current CV (no preferred format) The CV should clearly include all current and completed research support
  • A facilities and resources statement for the proposed research (max one page, 10 pt font minimum)

Eligibility Criteria:

Applicants who have questions concerning their eligibility are asked to contact the appropriate research administrator at the school where they hold a primary appointment. A list of who to contact by school is available here

Emphasis in the David Mahoney Neuroimaging program is on assisting promising early career investigators to obtain pilot study data concerning novel hypotheses that will help them compete for larger-scale funding from other sources.
To be eligible, applicants must have faculty appointments. Early career investigators most often are investigators at the assistant professor level and those who are in their early years of their associate professor appointments.

Senior investigators may apply only if the proposed study represents a new research direction. Post-docs are not eligible to apply unless they can provide evidence that they will have a faculty appointment prior to the start of the grant period.
