The Hilda and Preston Davis Foundation is pleased to support its 
Postdoctoral Fellowship Program in Eating Disorders Research. By 
attracting young scientists to the field, each fellowship may lead to 
a lifetime career contribution to understanding the biological causes 
of eating disorders.  The long term goal of the program is to 
accelerate medical research discoveries that will lead to improved 
therapies for anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Research areas of 
interest include but are not limited to neural pathways of feeding 
behavior in animal models; molecular genetic analysis of relevant 
neural circuit assembly and function; testing of new chemical 
compounds that might be used in animal models as experimental 
treatments; and brain imaging technologies that identify 
neurochemical pathways in patients with these disorders. Clinical 
psychotherapeutic studies, medication trials and obesity research are 
currently outside the scope of this Program.

Up to five three-year fellowships ranging from $43,000 - $63,000 per 
year, inclusive of a $3,000 expense allowance will be awarded to 
fellows who have completed no more than three years of postdoctoral 
research training as of the funding start date. The awards will 
support postdoctoral fellows working in nonprofit academic or 
research institutions in the United States.
