SUMMARY:Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) Research Grants 2011
DESCRIPTION:The international Human Frontier Science Program (HSFP) has launched a new 
 call for applications for Research Grants in 2011. The program aims to 
 stimulate novel\, daring ideas by supporting collaborative research 
 bringing together scientists from different disciplines in basic life 
 science including especially non-traditional life sciences such as 
 biophysics\, chemistry\, computational biology\, computer science\, 
 engineering\, mathematics\, nanoscience and physics. Preliminary results 
 are not required in research grant applications. Applicants are expected to 
 develop new lines of research through the collaboration\; projects must be 
 distinct from applicants’ other research funded by other sources. HFSP 
 supports only international preferably intercontinental collaborative 
 teams\, with an emphasis on encouraging scientists early in their careers. 
 Two different grants are available.  A letter of intent has to be submitted 
 by March 31st (online-registration is necessary by March 22nd). Researchers 
 will then be notified at the beginning of July whether they are invited to 
 submit a full application which would be due in mid-September.  Young 
 Investigators’ Grants are for teams of scientists\, who would like to 
 reach an independent position. They should be all within 5 years of 
 establishing an independent laboratory and within 10 years after obtaining 
 their PhDs.  Program Grants are for independent scientists at all stages of 
 their careers\, who would like to develop new lines of research through 
 collaboration. All members must be in a position to initiate as well as 
 direct their own independent lines of research and must have responsibility 
 for their own laboratories and show evidence of independence. The 
 participation of younger scientists is especially encouraged. Postdocs are 
 not eligible to apply.  Both programs provide 3 years support for 2 to 4 
 member teams\, with not more than one member from any country\, unless 
 critical for the innovative nature of the project. Awards are dependent 
 upon team size. Successful teams may receive up to $450\,000 per year for 
 the whole team. The principal applicant and his laboratory must be located 
 in a HFSP Member state (Australia\, Canada\, EU\, India\, Japan\, New 
 Zealand\, Norway\, Republic of Korea\, Switzerland\, United States) but 
 co-investigators may be located in any country.
