Purpose:
Each year, the Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation makes up to five fellowship grants to medical institutions that have nominated research projects led by outstanding post-doctoral candidates. The Foundation considers proposals for research projects in the field of child and adolescent ADHD, child and adolescent depression and access to care. The grant awards are for $30,000 per year for two years, and the Primary Investigator is awarded the title of KTGF Fellow in ADHD, KTGF Fellow in Depression or KTGF Fellow in Access to Care.
The Foundation particularly wishes to support two-year research projects that could lead to larger projects worthy of federal funding and other national research awards. Institutions should, therefore, nominate candidates who have strong evidence of independent research ability potential and who are planning a career in research related to child and adolescent psychiatry or developmental psychopathology.
Guidelines

Sponsor's omination guidelines (these are for your reference only- see the Internal submission guidelines below)
http://ktgf.org/for_applicant.html
- The Foundation expects institutions to nominate post-doctoral investigators holding a Ph.D. and/or M.D. who have also completed all clinical training. As a general rule, nominated candidates should be at the junior faculty level or on a trajectory for attaining faculty status; applications nominating candidates in T32 or other designated research training programs will be considered.
- Other funding: Investigators who have already received R01 awards from NIMH are not eligible for nomination. Investigators who have K awards or have applied for K awards are eligible for nomination, provided the K award (if has been funded) does not overlap with the proposed project. Investigators who have not applied for K awards and hope to use a KTGF fellowship as a stepping stone to a K award or other funding are encouraged to apply. While fellows may be selected prior to receipt of IRB approval, no fellowship award is finalized until such approval is received.
- Internal note: Postdocs, Instructors, and Junior Faculty (assistant professors) should consider applying.
