Two of our faculty members, Tory Eisenlohr – Moul, PhD, and Katie Burkhouse, PhD were awarded the 2018 NARSAD Young Investigator Grant from the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation.

The NARSAD Young Investigator Grant provides support for the most promising young scientists conducting neurobiological research. Two-year awards up to $70,000, or $35,000 per year are provided to enable promising investigators to either extend research fellowship training or begin careers as independent research faculty. Basic and/or clinical investigators are supported, but research must be relevant to serious brain and behavior disorders such as schizophrenia, mood disorders, anxiety disorders or child and adolescent mental illnesses.
