The Sturge-Weber Foundation invites proposals for Young Investigator Awards and Pilot Research Studies in the United States and abroad that focus on projects related to the pathogenesis or treatment of Sturge-Weber syndrome, Klippel-Trenaunay, or Port Wine Stain birthmarks.
Young Investigator Awards will provide up to $30,000 per year for maximum of two years in postdoctoral fellowship support (salary stipend and conference allowance) to encourage the brightest young minds to enter the field. Applicants must be no more than four years out of M.D. or Ph.D. program and work under the supervision of an established mentor.
