The 2026 Young Investigator Award in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience from the Flux Society and supported by Kennedy Krieger Institute, recognizes outstanding contributions by scientists early in their careers.
Nominees should have been working in the area of developmental cognitive neuroscience for 7 years or less since their terminal degree (e.g. PhD, DPhil, MD). Caregiving leave or time spent in clinical training do not count toward the 7 year limit. Self-nominations are also welcome. Memberships are not required for submissions.
The award winner receives complimentary registration and a 30-minute presentation slot at the next Flux Congress.
Nominations open on January 5, 2026, and close on February 27, 2026.
