| ANNUAL CONFERENCE | FORM 990-PF, PART VIII-A | In June 2024, the McKnight conference on neuroscience was held its annual conference on neuroscience that was attended by 95 neuroscientists, including members of the MEFN board of directors, the awards selection committee, and 5 Doupe fellows, and other invited guests. 17 McKnight award recipients and 6 guest speakers presented the findings of their brain research projects over the course of the June weekend. Special lecture topics included: "Mechanisms and evolution of the control of sleep," presented by Gilles Laurent, Max Planck Institute for Brain Research "Proteostasis and plasticity at synapses," presented by Erin Schuman, Max Planck Institute for Brain Research A special "Language as Brain Disease" Workshop, moderated by David Poeppel, Ernst Strungmann Institute and New York University, and included researchers Laura Gwilliams (Stanford University), Mari Luisa Gorno Tempini (University of California, San Francisco), and Caroline Niziolek (University of Wisconsin, Madison) Other sessions included three thematic sections of speaking presentations of McKnight award recipients, a technology workshop, and a technology demonstration. Each presentation included a 15 minutes question and answer session so that the conference audience benefited from an open discussion of the research works presented. In addition, the technology demonstration was interactive and included open discussions. The McKnight conference on neuroscience provides a forum for: 1) sharing of research developments by and between McKnight awardees through formal presentations; 2) sharing of research work in informal discussions; and 3) monitoring by the board of directors and review committee members of the research work being supported by the McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience. The next McKnight conference on neuroscience is scheduled to be held June 12-14, 2025, in Aspen, Colorado. Fourteen recent recipients of a McKnight award and five guest speakers will present the findings of their brain research projects. |
| AWARDS | FORM 990-PF, PART XIV, LINE 2B | The McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience is an independent charitable organization established by The McKnight Foundation to carry out the intention of its founder, William L. McKnight (1887-1979). Mr. McKnight, who led the 3M company for three decades, had a personal interest in memory and its diseases and set aside part of his legacy to bring hope to those suffering from brain injury or disease and cognitive impairment. The Endowment Fund fulfills this mission by supporting innovative research in neuroscience through three competitive annual awards. The awards complement each other to support both young and established neuroscientists and to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. Each in a different way, the three programs seek out investigators whose research shows promise in bringing society closer to preventions, treatments, and cures for many devastating diseases. Research supported by the Endowment Fund has furthered understanding of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries, and many other cognitive impairments. In 2021, the Endowment Fund created a Fellowship for McKnight awardees to hire an undergraduate student from a community underrepresented in neuroscience. The Endowment Fund is led by a board of eminent neuroscientists, with administrative support from the McKnight Foundation. Each award has its own selection committee, also made up of prominent scientists. The committee recommends awardees, and the board has the final approval. McKnight Scholar Awards The McKnight Scholar Awards encourage neuroscientists in the early stages of their careers to focus on critical problems in brain science. These awards support young scientists who hold a M.D. and/or Ph.D. degree, who have completed formal postdoctoral training, and who demonstrate a commitment to neuroscience. The Endowment Fund especially seeks applicants who demonstrate an interest in solving important problems in relevant areas of neuroscience, including the translation of basic research to clinical neuroscience. For descriptions of previous awards, please go to https://www.mcknight.org/programs/the-mcknight-endowment-fund-for-neuroscience/. Each year, up to ten Scholars are selected to receive three years of support at $75,000 per year. Funds may be used for direct costs in any way that will facilitate development of the Scholar's research program. Scholars must have authorization from the home institution to work in the U.S. and must hold full time appointments at the rank of assistant professor at their sponsoring institution; scientists holding other titles such as research assistant professor, adjunct assistant professor, assistant professor research track, visiting professor, or instructor are not eligible. If the host institution does not use professorial titles, a letter from a senior institutional official (e.g., Dean or Director of Research) must confirm that the applicant has his/her own dedicated institutional resources, laboratory space, and/or facilities. Application materials are due in early January and can be uploaded by accessinghttps://www.mcknight.org/programs/the-mcknight-endowment-fund-for-neuroscience/ set up for this purpose. Each applicant must ensure that four letters of reference are submitted to an email account; these letters are an integral part of the application. Awards are announced in June and begin on July 1. McKnight Neurobiology of Brain Disorders Award The Neurobiology of Brain Disorder Awards, support neuroscientists who are working to apply the knowledge achieved through basic or clinical research to human brain disorders and who address the biology and mechanisms of neurological and psychiatric disorders. They are designed to stimulate innovative approaches that might lead to therapies and cures. Competitive projects would include those that provide mechanistic insights into neurological functions at the synaptic, cellular, molecular, genetic, or behavioral level across different species, including humans and vertebrate and invertebrate model organisms, and that incorporate fundamentally new approaches that provide potential paths for therapeutic interventions. Collaborative and cross-disciplinary applications are encouraged. For descriptions of previous awards, please go to the Endowment Fund website. The first step is to submit a two-page letter of intent describing the project and how the research will be applied to improving the understanding of a brain disorder or disease. Investigators must have authorization from the home institution to work in the U.S. and must hold full time appointments at the rank of assistant professor or higher at the sponsoring institution; scientists holding other titles such as research professor, adjunct professor, professor research track, visiting professor, or instructor are not eligible. If the host institution does not use professorial titles, a letter from a senior institutional official (e.g., Dean or Director of Research) must confirm that the applicant has his/her own dedicated institutional resources, laboratory space, and/or facilities. Funds may be used toward a variety of research activities, except the recipient's salary. The selection committee will invite a few applicants to submit detailed proposals, from which up to four awards will be selected. Each provides $100,000 annually for three years. Letters of intent are due in November and can be uploaded by accessing the online URL set up for this purpose. Awards are announced in June and begin in August of the following year. McKnight Matthew Pecot Fellowship The McKnight Pecot Fellowship, created in 2021, is named in honor of McKnight Scholar Awardee Matthew Pecot, who died in 2019. Matthew was a brilliant BIPOC neuroscientist at Harvard Medical School and a 2017 McKnight Scholar Awardee. He received his McKnight award for his work on identifying molecular principles underlying synaptic specificity. Matthew's McKnight work has contributed to identifying defects in neural connectivity, which underlie many neural psychiatric diseases. Up to six current McKnight Endowment Fund awardees are selected to receive $16,500 to hire an underrepresented college student to perform research in the McKnight awardee's lab. In addition to supervising the Fellow's research activities, the McKnight awardee will provide mentorship and networking opportunities for the Fellow. Additionally, the Fellow will be invited to the McKnight Endowment Fund annual conference. The Pecot Fellowship is open to all former and current McKnight neuroscientists. The nomination application includes a recommendation from the McKnight awardee; an essay on a scientific topic by the undergraduate who is being nominated; and the undergraduate's resume. Nominations are submitted in February/March and awardees are notified in April/May. A subcommittee of McKnight Endowment for Neuroscience board members selects the awards. |
