Just an FYI on the eligibility for the "Brain Disorders Award"

ELIGIBILITY

Candidates should be a scientist doing basic biological or biomedical research who proposes to apply his/her knowledge and experience to improve the understanding of a brain disorder or disease. Collaborative and cross-disciplinary applications are explicitly invited.

Investigators who are United States citizens or lawful permanent residents conducting research at institutions within the United States are invited to apply. Applicants must be in tenured or tenured-track, faculty positions. Applicants may not be employees of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute or scientists within the intramural program of the National Institutes of Health.

Funds may be used toward a variety of research activities, but not the recipient's salary. The PI's total laboratory funding (including PI and co-PI of all external grants) should be less than $700,000 in annual direct costs. The candidate's other sources of funding will be considered when selecting awards.
