Graduate Research Fellowship in Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance

Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance

The Graduate Research Fellowship provides 1 to 3 years of support for individuals engaged in graduate study leading to a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree (or equivalent).

FARA will award up to 3 Graduate Research Fellowships per year. For this application type, the PI/applicant of the grant proposal is the graduate student. Applicants need to be matriculated in the chosen graduate school and have a chosen thesis adviser at the time of application. Proof of passing qualifying exam, if applicable, is required at time of application or must be provided within a year of receiving the award, to receive funding for years 2 and 3. If passing a qualifying exam is not an institutional requirement, then the applicant must have been doing research in the adviser’s lab for at least the 6 months prior to the application deadline and must provide: (1) Institutional proof of acceptance to the PhD program; and (2) a letter from the adviser stating that the student will be supported by the adviser until completion of the student’s PhD degree (or equivalent). The research proposal must focus on projects that fall within FARA’s Research Priorities. Preliminary data are encouraged but not required. Applicants are required to submit a personal statement describing their plans for the future as it relates to FA research, with a description of career goals and how the proposed research and research environment will favor achieving those goals. A mentoring plan developed jointly by the graduate student and the primary research mentor, as well as a mentor’s letter of support are also required. The only allowable budget items are the graduate student’s salary/stipend plus applicable fringe benefits (including health insurance) and tuition costs and fees that are not already covered by the institution. The majority of the student’s time should be dedicated to this project. Recipients of this Fellowship are encouraged to attend the International Congress for Ataxia Research, and FARA will facilitate their participation.
