Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) Long-Term Fellowships

August 26, 2008

Human Frontier Science Program, Long-Term Fellowship submission deadline 11 September 2008: The aim of the HFSP is to support basic research focused on complex mechanisms of living organisms; fields supported range from molecular and cellular approaches to biological functions to systems and cognitive neuroscience. Research Grants are now designed to bring together scientists from fields such as physics, mathematics, chemistry, computer science, bioinformatics, nanoscience, engineering and biology to open up new approaches to understanding complex biological systems. Fellowship Programs are aimed specifically to support young scientists who wish to change their field of research either within the life sciences or across major disciplines

HFSP previously supported 2 scientific programs focused on neuroscience and molecular biology. With the dissolving of boundaries separating traditional biological fields, and the need to involve disciplines outside biology in life science research, these separate programs have been unified into a single scientific program. A single committee now reviews all grant applications, while a second committee reviews all long-term fellowship applications. Both committees are composed of internationally-leading scientists.

Research in methodology in the above areas, or the study of analogs or models of biological activity, is also eligible for support.

Projects which involve only high-throughput approaches to data collection (e.g. large-scale, systematic genome mapping or sequencing) are not eligible to receive HFSP funding. However, this does not exclude functional studies based upon use of such data.
