HDF Postdoctoral Fellowship
Supports postdoctoral scientists building independent research careers in Huntington disease science with collaboration and translational focus.
The Hereditary Disease Foundation (HDF) Postdoctoral Fellowship is a two-year award from a New York–based nonprofit established in 1968 that has funded Huntington's disease research since the organisation's founding by Dr. Milton Wexler. The program supports early-career scientists whose work focuses exclusively on Huntington's disease — no other disease area qualifies. HDF pays $100,000 per year …
Huntington's disease research conducted by early-career postdoctoral scientists seeking to establish an independent research program in the HD field.
