Three awards are offered: the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI), the Simons Collaboration on the Global Brain (SCGB) and the Simons Collaboration on Plasticity and the Aging Brain (SCPAB). The awards support early career scientists as they transition from mentored training to their independent research professorships to study autism, cognitive aging, or systems and computational neuroscience.
The SFARI Bridge to Independence Award Program welcomes applications from all scientists interested in autism research and encourages applications from individuals from diverse backgrounds underrepresented in neuroscience research. The SCGB and SCPAB Transition to Independence Awards seek to support individuals from diverse backgrounds underrepresented in neuroscience research.
Successful applicants receive financial support and professional development support during their faculty job search, as well as a faculty grant upon assumption of a tenure track faculty position.
