The HFSP supports novel, innovative and interdisciplinary basic research focused on the complex mechanisms of living organisms; topics range from molecular and cellular approaches to systems and cognitive neuroscience. A clear emphasis is placed on novel collaborations that bring biologists together with scientists from fields such as physics, mathematics, chemistry, computer science and engineering to focus on problems at the frontier of the life sciences.

 

 

Research Grants (Young Investigators Grants, Program Grants)

 

Research Grants are awarded for novel collaborations involving extensive collaboration among teams of scientists working in different countries and in different disciplines. Two types of grants are available: Young Investigator Grants and Program Grants. The 2009 call for Letters of Intent is now open.

 

 

Post Doc Fellowships

 

Postdoctoral Fellowships are available for scientists who wish to work in foreign laboratories, with emphasis on individuals early in their careers who wish to obtain training in a different field of re-search. Fellows who return to their home countries are eligible to apply for a Career Development Award.

 

 

Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships

 

Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships: Cross-disciplinary fellowships are intended for postdoctoral fellows with a Ph.D. degree in the physical sciences, chemistry, mathematics, engineering and computer sciences who wish to receive training in biology.

 

Next deadline to apply for a fellowship will be at the end of August 2008.
The online application form and the new guidelines will be available in July 2008.
