Applications Now Being Accepted
The Sanders-Brown NIH T32 grant (T32 AG078110) entitled “Translational Research in Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias (TRIAD)” will have 2 predoc and 2 postdoc slots open for appointment on August 1, 2024 or later. Applications for support are due on June 15, 2024.
The emphasis of the grant is on providing cross-disciplinary training from bench to bedside, ie., spanning the discovery continuum from molecular/biochemical approaches, preclinical translational approaches, and clinical research. The thematic focus is on risk factors for dementia, including cerebrovascular disease, neuroinflammation, acute brain injury, and lifestyle/genetic risk factors. Trainees with diverse research backgrounds beyond standard wet-lab neuroscience, such as bioinformatics, biostatistics, engineering, epidemiology, social sciences, engineering, and community based and human research studies, are strongly encouraged to apply.
