HBI Young Scientist Transitions Award Program

Summer 2021 Awardees

We are pleased to announce the second round of awardees of the Harvard Brain Science Initiative (HBI) Young Scientist Transitions Award Program. This special program, made possible with funding from the Office of the Provost, is designed to provide relief funding to excellent neuroscience postdocs at Harvard University (FAS & HMS Quad) whose career progress has been significantly delayed by institutional shutdowns, slowdowns and delays in job search processes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
