The overall goal should be to understand behavioral output or brain mechanisms of behavior. The first step in the proposal process is the submittal of a letter describing the nature of the proposed research project. On the basis of this letter, the Whitehall Foundation's technical staff will determine whether or not the proposed research project is appropriate. Support cannot be provided to individuals already receiving substantial support from other sources. Grant application material will be sent to those applicants whose proposed projects are consistent with the Foundation's current funding interests.
Travel is funded if it is required for research purposes with foreign travel usually excluded.
Publication costs are funded if directly related to the submission of papers on the project to recognized journals.
