The NFXF will offer ten $1,000 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. Once the abstract has been submitted, the Junior Investigator must send an email to Jayne Dixon Weber at jayne@fragilex.org requesting they be considered for the award and include the following:

• Subject line: Junior Investigator – “Last name”
• First line of email: “Title of Abstract”
• I wish to be considered for one of the Junior Investigator $1,000 awards.

Abstracts will be reviewed, and the finalists will be selected by the NFXF Conference Advisors.
