The Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience welcomes scientists of all disciplines, from pathologists to data scientists and beyond, to join our growing, interdisciplinary community focused on the science of resilient brain aging.
Brain Resilience Postdoctoral Scholar Awards
Since 2023, the Brain Resilience Postdoctoral Scholars awards support trainees interested in researching the mechanisms of neurodegeneration and how to maintain brain resilience into old age.
Catalyst Grants
Catalyst grants support innovative proposals that provide new insights into the biology of brain aging, neurodegenerative disease drivers, and opportunities to promote brain health and resilience into old age.
Innovation Grants
These grants support creative and bold proposals that generate paradigm-shifting insights into the biology of brain aging, the drivers of neurodegenerative disease and opportunities to promote brain health and resilience long into what we now consider "old age".
Pilot Grants
Pilot Grants support original research projects to advance our understanding of healthy brain aging by empowering investigators to explore emerging ideas that could lead to significant insights into promoting cognitive health well into old age.
