Young Investigators and Program Grants

Research Grants » Program Grants for Researchers » International Grants

Research grants are provided for teams of scientists from different countries who wish to combine their expertise to approach questions that could not be answered by individual laboratories.

Emphasis is placed on novel collaborations that bring together scientist from different disciplines (e.g. from chemistry, physics, computer science, engineering) to focus on problems in the life sciences.

The research teams must be international. However, other participating scientists and laboratories may be situated anywhere in the world.

Applicants must submit a letter of intent to apply for a research grant via the HFSP web site, selected teams will be invited to submit a full application. Young Investigators' Grants are awarded to teams of researchers, all of whom are within the first five years after obtaining an independent laboratory (e.g. Assistant Professor, Lecturer or equivalent).

Applications for Young Investigators' Grants will be reviewed in competition with each other independently of applications for Program Grants.

Program Grants are awarded to teams of independent researchers at any stage of their careers.

The research team is expected to develop new lines of research through the collaboration.

Up to $450,000 per grant per year may be applied for.

Applications including independent investigators early in their careers are encouraged.
