Grant Description: The NFRP Postdoctoral Traineeship Award mechanism was first offered in FY09 as the Postdoctoral Traineeship Award. Since then, 18 applications have been received, and 11 have been recommended for funding. The intent of the training award is to enable recent medical or other doctoral degree graduates to obtain the necessary experience to pursue an independent career in NF research. Candidates for this award must demonstrate a strong desire to pursue a career in NF research. Under this award mechanism, the postdoctoral trainee is considered the Principal Investigator (PI) and, as such, should write the project narrative with appropriate direction from the mentor. The focus of these awards is on the PI, the mentor, and the training program and environment. These awards primarily provide salary support for the PI and require the active involvement of a designated mentor who is an established NF researcher, as evidenced by a demonstrated record of past and/or current funding and publications. While the PI is not required to have previous experience in NF research, applications for this award must focus on NF research.
