The Office of Foundations Relations is pleased to share two open calls for funding from Klingenstein Philanthropies. Please refer to the full call announcements for Klingenstein-Simons Fellowship Awards in Neuroscience and Addressing Transformation of Mental Health Care.
UCSC Contact: Samantha Forde | forde@ucsc.edu
Funder: Klingenstein Philanthropies
(1) Opportunity: Klingenstein-Simons Fellowship Awards in Neuroscience
Application Deadline: February 15, 2023
Funding: $300,000
Overview
The Klingenstein-Simons Neuroscience Fellowship supports early-career investigators engaged in basic or clinical research that may lead to a better understanding of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Several areas within neuroscience are of particular interest:
- Cellular and molecular neuroscience. Studies of the mechanisms of neuronal excitability and development, and of the genetic basis of behavior.
- Neural systems. Studies of the integrative function of the nervous system.
- Translational research. Studies designed to improve our understanding of the causes, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Funding is intended to seed new directions in the fellows’ research programs by providing an unencumbered addition to their regular source of research support.
(2) Opportunity: Addressing Transformation of Mental Health Care
Application Deadline: January 13, 2023 (11:59 pm EST)
Funding: $200,000
Overview
The Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation is interested in supporting academic researchers who are positioned to provide rigorous high-quality research focused on transforming mental and behavioral health care that improves outcomes for children and adolescents. Projects should use novel models or promising approaches to expand the number of professional and paraprofessional treatment personnel who are trained to deliver mental health services, and/or to deliver care in non-psychiatric settings (e.g., primary care, schools, home, or other novel settings); to develop digital technology (e.g., the internet, apps for cell phones); and that help parents access care for their children.
Primary outcomes should demonstrate that the project is being designed for scalability. Secondary outcomes include clinical or functional outcomes that are likely to improve when access to care is enhanced.
