DOD Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Career Transition Award: The Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Research Program (TSCRP) was established in 2002 to promote innovative research focused on decreasing the clinical impact of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). The mission of the TSCRP is to encourage innovative research aimed at understanding the pathogenesis of TSC and to translate these findings to the care of individuals with TSC. The FY11 Career Transition Award supports TSC researchers during the transition from postdoctoral training to an independent position. This award will cover up to two years of postdoctoral training followed by up to two years of a faculty-level position. Under this award mechanism, the postdoctoral fellow is considered the Principal Investigator (PI). Important aspects of this award are as follows: The award covers the last two years of a postdoctoral fellowship and the first two years of an independent faculty position. Career transition and development plans must be clearly articulated. A mentor must be named who will support and guide the PI during the postdoctoral period of the award. All applications must include preliminary data relevant to TSC research and the proposed project.
