Congratulations to postdoc Marino Pagan, who is one of six new SFARI Bridge to Independence Fellows! This is a very competitive award. As the SFARI web sites describes, “Launched in 2015, the program is aimed at Ph.D.- and M.D.-holding scientists with an interest in autism research who are currently in training positions but intend to seek tenure-track faculty positions at a U.S. or Canadian research institution during the upcoming academic year. Fellows will receive a commitment of $495,000 over three years, activated upon assumption of their faculty positions.”
