Distinctive Features: • Academy Director: Established NF investigators at or above the level of Associate Professor, or equivalent, at the full application submission deadline. • Academy Deputy Director: Investigators at or above the level of Associate Professor, or equivalent, at the full application deadline and affiliated with a different institution than the Academy Director. • Pilot Research Project: The Academy Director and Deputy Director will conduct one or more pilot research projects in collaboration with the academy scholars.
