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.
