About the program
The Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Postdoctoral Scholar Awards Program provides research support and a community of mentors and peers to extraordinary Stanford postdocs in the neurosciences.
Our program supports innovative postdoctoral scientists working at the intersection of multiple fields to advance our understanding of the mind and brain in health and disease (Interdisciplinary Track), or with a special focus on the science of brain aging and neurodegeneration (Brain Resilience Track, sponsored by the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience). In addition to receiving research funding, scholars meet regularly for scientific and career development activities that allow them to learn from one another’s varied research and personal backgrounds and establish community and collaborations.
