Award Guidelines

Instructions

The IOCDF is grateful to once again offer two (2) types of research grant awards in the 2025 grant cycle:

  • The Michael Jenike Young Investigator Awards to junior researchers investigating OCD and/or related disorders
    • 2025 Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)) Young Investigator Award. This year we are pleased to announce that we will be funding one Young Investigator Award for a research project specifically focused on BDD. Applicants should use the same application submission form as for the Jenike Young Investigator Awards.
  • The Innovator Award to more seasoned researchers pursuing impactful projects investigating OCD only, intended to support innovative and potentially groundbreaking projects — high-impact science that could profoundly impact the field and accelerate progress toward new and more effective treatments for OCD.
