Special Projects Grant - Effects of the Usage of Digital Technology on Brain Development, Social Behaviors and Mental Health in Children and Young People
This is not a limited submission and is being announced as a courtesy only.
HFF is establishing a research portfolio on the Effects of the Usage of Digital Technology on Brain Development, Social Behaviours and Mental Health in Children and Young People.
The funder welcomes applications for Huo early-career fellowships and junior faculty research grants (as detailed further below). They want to help train the next generation of exceptional scientists in this rapidly evolving field and to support multi-disciplinary work. Applications should attempt to understand mechanisms, causal pathways and directions.
Apply for 1 of 2 tracks:
1. Huo early-career fellowships – up to three years, up to £130k/$175.5k pa – to support talented and promising postdoctoral researchers on the path to independence. Typically, the researchers must be within four years of completing PhD and without their first permanent position. Fellows should have a sponsor, who has a permanent position at the host institution. Find out more about applying for this grant.
2. Junior faculty research grants – up to three years, up to £170k/$229.5k pa – to support focused research projects led by new lecturers/assistant professors, who typically took up their first permanent/tenure-track position within the last four years
