The NFXF will offer ten $1000 scholarships to Junior Investigators – defined as students, postdocs, fellows and new faculty (within 3 years of first appointment) – whose area of focus is Fragile X, with awards made to those in both basic and clinical science.
To be considered for the award, a Junior Investigator must submit an abstract by Monday, February 24, 2020 using this link. Once the abstract has been submitted, the Junior Investigator must send an email to Jayne Dixon Weber jayne@fragilex.org requesting they be considered for the award – with the following:
- Subject line: Junior Investigator – ‘last name’.

- I wish to be considered for one of the Junior Investigator $1000 awards.
Abstracts will be reviewed, and the finalists will be selected by the NFXF Conference Advisors.
