Renée Fleming Neuroarts Investigator Awards The Renée Fleming Foundation has joined forces with the NeuroArts Blueprint initiative to establish the Renée Fleming NeuroArts Investigator Awards. The awards will support both basic and applied research that expands the evidence base of the emerging field of neuroarts and furthers the mission of the Neuroarts Blueprint. Two types of awards are available:
Basic Research Grants: To be jointly awarded to (1) an early career investigator engaged in a field of basic science related to neuroarts and affiliated with an academic or research institution; and (2) an individual working in an arts-based neuroarts discipline. The proposal must be designed to expand the science behind neuroarts, i.e., the scientific evidence that demonstrates the power of the arts to measurably change the brain and body in advancing the health and wellbeing of individuals. Fields of basic science related to neuroarts include neuroscience, cognitive science, psychology, public health, neurology, complementary medicine, pediatrics, gerontology, and rehabilitation science and may involve others. Arts-based neuroarts disciplines include visual arts, dance, music, expressive writing, performing arts, digital arts, and may involve others. Two one-year grants, each for up to $25,000, will be awarded.
Applied Research Grants: To be awarded to (1) a post-doctoral fellow or PhD candidate with a demonstrated interest in the field of neuroarts and affiliated with an academic or research institution; and (2) working under the guidance of a faculty member affiliated with an academic or research institution and engaged in the field of neuroarts. The proposal must be designed to apply the science behind neuroarts in a community-based setting to advance the health and wellbeing of individuals or groups of individuals. Community-based settings include health, arts, and other community-related organizations and may involve others. Four one-year grants, each for up to $7,500, will be awarded.
Applicants may submit only one proposal and for only one type of award. Applications for both types of awards will be reviewed by a committee of experts in the field of neuroarts. The deadline for submitting proposals is February 1, 2024. Final award decisions will be made by the NeuroArts Blueprint leadership team in consultation with the Applications Review Committee and the Renée Fleming Foundation. Awards will be announced on April 1, 2024.
