What Is Society for Neuroscience Young Investigator?
The SfN Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Young Investigator Award recognizes an independent early-career neuroscientist, not a high-school researcher. Nominees must head an independent laboratory, be actively researching and normally hold a PhD, MD or equivalent awarded within the previous twelve years. Postdoctoral researchers are ineligible, and self-nomination is prohibited. A member-endorsed nomination includes letters, a CV and selected publications. The 2026 window is closed; its USD 25,000 prize and specified annual-meeting benefits are historical. No 2027 nomination schedule is announced.
