PURPOSE
ISNI aims to promote the next generation of neuroimmunologists, and acknowledges that the mid-career stage (Assistant or Associate Professors, between 10 and 20 years of initial Assistant Professor appointment) presents particular challenges. The “We Are Neuroimmunology” awards aims to recognize the emerging contribution of two internationally competitive applicants of the highest calibre in the two main research streams; clinical neuroimmunology and fundamental neuroimmunology.
AWARD
The two successful applicants will be invited to present their research at the ISNI conference, and they, their research and team will be featured in social media and all communication channels of ISNI to the global neuroimmunology community. Budget permitting, a sum of ~$2,500 will be awarded for each award.
CRITERIA FOR SUCCESSFUL APPLICATIONS
Successful candidates should make a case of why they and their research program and discoveries exemplify the tag line “We Are Neuroimmunology”. Evidence of a rising trajectory, contribution to the field and mentorship of the next generation would be considered must-haves. Leadership in publications and taking on leadership roles are also essential and should be emphasized.
PROPOSED APPLICATIONTIMELINE:
The next application round will occur on 2027.
