Fellows Selected for Newest Scialog: Molecular Basis of Cognition
Nearly 50 early career researchers have been selected as Fellows for the first meeting of a new, three-year initiative to advance fundamental understanding of how memory, thought, perception and cognition work in brains at the molecular and system levels.
Scialog: Molecular Basis of Cognition, set to begin in October 2022, is co-sponsored by the Research Corporation for Science Advancement, the Frederick Gardner Cottrell Foundation and the Canada-based global research organization CIFAR, with additional support from the The Kavli Foundation and Walder Foundation. Scialog, created by RCSA in 2010, is short for “science + dialog.”

The cross-disciplinary group, which includes molecular scientists, neuroscientists, psychologists, and researchers in related fields from institutions across the United States and Canada, will meet to identify challenges and opportunities in advancing understanding of the molecular processes that underlie memory and cognition, and to propose collaborative new, high impact research.
Senior scientists will serve as Facilitators to frame the large questions under consideration, and to evaluate proposals for novel, high-risk research that can best be explored in a collaborative, multidisciplinary way. The most promising of those team projects will be awarded seed funding.
Molecular Basis of Cognition will be the third Scialog series co-sponsored with the Frederick Gardner Cottrell Foundation and the first with CIFAR.
More Fellows and Facilitators will be added as they are confirmed. To nominate yourself or another early career scientist, please contact the program director or use the Scialog Fellow Nomination Form.
