Status History
2026-07-09 UPCOMING → INELIGIBLE · The prerequisite funding mechanism — IBRO Neuroscience Training Grant — is strictly limited to 'PhD students and early-career postdoctoral fellows within 5 years of starting their first postdoctoral fellowship.' Eniola holds a B.Pharm and is an independent researcher with no PhD enrollment or postdoctoral appointment: a hard eligibility blocker. IBRO also mandates a reference letter from the applicant's current supervisor, which an independent researcher cannot provide. The Cajal course itself is additionally 'designed for PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-stage group leaders,' constituting a second hard blocker at the course layer.
