Mind Your Brain Foundation Fellowship
Mind Your Brain Foundation (MYBF) is accepting applications for a $2500 Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)Research Fellowship available to undergraduates with career interests related to traumatic brain injury research. To apply for the fellowship, please submit your application by March 31, 2025. The application includes open-ended questions and requires an unofficial copy of your transcript.
The open-ended questions include your interest in TBI research (250 words or less), your long-term career goals (100 words or less), and how this fellowship will help you (100 words or less).
Upon award, the recipient will work with Professor Douglas Smith, Director of The Penn Center for Brain Injury and Repair, to be matched with a PI, establish their research project, and determine the timeline for the project. The awardee will be required to present their research at an MYBF Board meeting. MYBF will invite the fellowship recipient to the MYBF Soiree to recognize them for their work. The awardee is encouraged to participate in CBIR events, including volunteering at the Mind Your Brain Conference held in March.
Established in 2005 by traumatic brain injury survivor Candace Gantt, Mind Your Brain Foundation works to fill the gap in TBI post-acute/rehabilitation care by conducting dynamic, regional, patient-centric conferences that include presentations, interactive discussions, cognitive workshops, and resource sharing by a variety of clinical experts, research authorities and TBI survivors.
