Applicant
This fellowship is intended for applicants who have completed some postdoctoral training, show extraordinary promise and are preparing for a transition to an independent research position. Generally, the most recent doctoral degree (PhD, MD, DMD, DVM, or equivalent) will have been received no more than 6 years before the application is submitted. Breakthrough T1D is sensitive to personal and COVID-related matters that impact career trajectories.
Applicants who have taken leave from their career (e.g. parenting of a child, childbirth, long-term care of a parent/spouse/child/dependent, personal health issues), or experienced a delay in their training due to COVID shutdowns and the cancellation of the Breakthrough T1D FY21 training call that put them outside of the eligibility time frame for the award mechanism should feel free to reach out to Breakthrough T1D staff ahead of their application submission.
Breakthrough T1D aims to be flexible and adjust these time frames if necessary and appropriate.
There are no citizenship requirements for this program. To assure continued excellence and diversity among applicants and awardees, Breakthrough T1D welcomes proposals from all qualified individuals and encourages proposals from persons with disabilities women and members of minority groups underrepresented in the sciences.
