BrainBoost Projects Application: The Sagol School of Neuroscience BrainBoost program offers grants in the field of brain disorders with a clear applicative potential (also in early stages) to develop them from the basic level to advanced next steps towards commercialization. Each project will be led by a selected fellow student. The student can be either MSc, PhD or postdoc level, with an excellent track record.
Each project will receive funding of up to 120,000 NIS (depending on the student academic level and ranking of the project). This funding can be used for a BrainBoost fellowship/salary and for running costs related specific to the project as long as the PI is committed to provide a 200% scholarship to the student fellow or equivalent payment.
The PI is requested to submit the project with a preselected student candidate that will perform the project and will commit to receive a dedicated mentorship by the program.
The BrainBoost fellows will attend specific training and personal mentoring with professional mentors from the business and industry ecosystem to equip them with entrepreneurial as well as R&D skills assist with advancing their projects to application.
The BrainBoost students will be expected to participate in all BrainBoost activities (events, seminars, conferences and courses – monthly basis).
BrainBoost accepts proposals from all Sagol School of Neuroscience affiliated PIs and grad students.
Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars from outside TAU can apply and are required to include a Sagol School PI member that will commit to host them for the application.
Students can approach Dr. Dana Bar-On for assistance in matching to a relevant PI.
PIs and students should assign a letter of commitment to the BrainBoost program.
Finalists (students) will be invited to present their project to the committee.
