the bbrf 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.

please note: this season we are offering support for virtual workshops (maximum award of $5,000) and virtual conferences (maximum award of $20,000).  "in-person" workshops and conferences have a maximum award of $20,000 and must be scheduled after september 1, 2021 to be eligible for consideration.

conference and workshop grants are for amounts up to $20,000. in accordance with the mission of the foundation, priority is given to events that foster the creation of an international community of research scholars in anthropology and advance significant and innovative anthropological research.

conferences are defined as public events that are comprised primarily of oral and poster presentations to a larger audience of anthropologists. priority is given to major conferences sponsored by large international anthropological organizations (e.g., the european association of social anthropologists, european anthropological association, pan african anthropological association, and latin american anthropological association) that serve as their annual or periodic meetings. the majority of the funds granted to such conferences is expected to be used towards expenses for international scholars who are making presentations at the conference and would not otherwise be able to attend.

workshops are defined as working meetings that focus on developing and debating topical issues in theoretical anthropology. workshops involve a small group of scholars who meet for a sufficient period of time to deal intensively with the topic. priority is given to those workshops that devote the majority of time to discussion and debate rather than to the presentation of papers. it is expected that workshops will result in a publication.
