Congratulations to Ryan Doan (Walsh lab), Seth Shipman (Church/Macklis labs), and Stephanie Rudolph (Regehr lab) for being named finalists for the 2017 Bridge to Independence Awards!

Awarded by The Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI), the Bridge to Independence grants help talented early-career scientists with an interest in autism transition from mentored training positions to independent research careers. The finalists have one year to secure a tenure-track faculty position at a U.S. university. Once approved by SFARI, they will be awarded a grant of $495,000 over three years.
