Open Call | Allen Discovery Center for Neurobiology in Changing Environments

Deepening our understanding of nervous systems in rapidly changing environments 

We are excited to announce a 2024 Allen Discovery Center (ADC) initiative to support research that will elucidate the molecular, cellular and/or circuitry-level neurobiology governing fundamental biological processes (development, reproduction, etc.) in response to anthropogenic-driven environmental perturbation. Up to one award will be made for up to $10 million in total funding support provided over four years.  

We seek Letters of Intent (LOIs) by noon Pacific Time September 20, 2023. Selected LOIs will be invited to submit full proposals to be considered for an ADC award in 2024. Details on the call as well as answers to frequently asked questions can be found below.  

Submissions are welcome from researchers who are innovative scientists and effective leaders with the vision and drive to create an agile, action-oriented team focused on hard problems and frontier territory with transformational potential across a broad landscape. We look forward to reading your innovative and ambitious project ideas.
