Title: Mentored Career Development Award to Build Research Capacity in Global Mental Health (K01)
Program: The purpose of the NIMH Mentored Career Development Award to Build Research Capacity in Global Mental Health is to provide support and "protected time" (three to five years) for an intensive, supervised career development experience that will facilitate the entry of early career investigators into the field of global mental health research and lead to research independence. The NIMH invites applications from advanced postdoctoral and/or recently appointed early research scientists (usually with a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree and no more than six years of postdoctoral research experience at the time of application) in biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences who are pursuing global mental health research careers in areas supported by the NIMH.
Deadline: Letter of Intent: September 22, 2013

Title: Fulbright Postdoctoral/Early Career Grants
Program: Postdoctoral/early career grants are open to U.S. scholars who have recently completed their doctoral degrees – typically within the five previous years. Grant lengths for postdoctoral and early career awards vary, from 3 to 20 months, depending on the country. Scholars will be expected to engage with graduate students in the host country and to be involved with host university training in cutting edge research in their specializations.In addition to primary research or teaching activities, postdoctoral and early career scholars will give public talks, mentor students, and otherwise engage with the host country academic community.
Deadline: August 1, 2013

Title: Andrew W. Mellon New Directions Fellowship
Program: The University of California, Santa Cruz has been invited to nominate one candidate for the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's New Directions Fellowship. This is an invitation-only submission process. It is a very prestigious award that covers salary for approximately one academic year and two summers of additional support (including release time from teaching, if required). Candidates for this program should be highly qualified scholars pursuing innovative research. New Directions Fellowship assist faculty members in the humanities and humanistic social sciences who received their doctorate between six and twelve years ago and who wish to acquire systematic training outside their own disciplines. The fellowships are looking to assist faculty whose research interests cross-disciplinary boundaries and call for formal training in a discipline other than the one in which they are expert. The nominee will be decided by a committee of Social Science and Humanities faculty members.
Internal deadline: September 19, 2013

UC
Funding Source: UCOP
Title: Research Opportunity Funds
Program: Research Opportunity Funds are available to help pilot or seed new projects that can demonstrate a strong systemwide benefit to UC research and enhance UC’s ability to compete for funding, advance research discoveries, support innovative graduate student research, inform public policy or otherwise impact the lives of Californians. Projects must have strong campus support and a clear path for development into long-term, self-sustaining programs. Funding is open to all fields, and may be used for workshops or meetings, proposal development, public or industry outreach, or other projects that can demonstrate system-wide benefit to UC research. Funding requests are accepted throughout the year, and are reviewed and awarded on a quarterly basis. We encourage you to submit requests as early as possible, particularly if you have questions or are seeking help finding a UCOP sponsor.
