Grant Size

Upper $450,000USD Lower $265,000USD The current mode of funding is as follows but may be subject to revision to take into account HFSPO’s budget: $265,000 for a team of 2; $365,000 for a team of 3; $465,000 for a team of 4 or more. These figures represent the amount awarded to the whole team per year for a period of 3 years.

Eligibility

HFSP Research Grants support teams of independent leaders of research groups. Therefore applications from individual scientists or early career researchers carrying out their postdoctoral or PhD level projects are not eligible. The Principal Applicant of a Research Grant must have a laboratory in a member country (with the exception of HFSP Career Development Awardees). The other team members and their laboratories may be situated anywhere in the world. All team members are expected to direct a research group (however small) and must have a doctoral degree (PhD, MD or equivalent). They must be in a position to initiate and direct their own independent lines of research. The HFSP award is not intended to create scientific independence, this is a decision of the research institute prior to the application. All team members must be able to determine the course of the HFSP-funded project and have freedom to administer the grant, if awarded. Structure of the team. The research teams must be international (preferably intercontinental). Normally, there will be only one team member with a laboratory in each country, teams with two members at the same institution are no eligible. Team members should not have collaborated before, they will normally not have published original research together, and the project must be significantly different from their ongoing research. Research Grants – Early Career All members of an Early Career grant team must be within 5 years of obtaining an independent position (see below) and must have obtained their first doctoral degree (PhD, MD or equivalent) not longer than 10 years before the deadline for submission of the letter of intent. All applicants for an Early Career grant must be project leaders directing a research group (however small) and must have full responsibility for the day to day running of their laboratories and will have full control of the HFSP funds. Written confirmation may be requested from the Head of Department in the case of an applicant who independently oversees a research theme. Research Grants – Program While researchers can be at any stage in their independent career, participation of early career researchers is encouraged also in Program Grants.

Description

HFSP Research Grants support innovative basic research into fundamental biological problems with emphasis placed on novel and interdisciplinary approaches that involve scientific exchanges across national and disciplinary boundaries. Participation of scientists from disciplines outside the traditional life sciences such as biophysics, chemistry, computational biology, computer science, engineering, mathematics, nanoscience or physics is recommended because such collaborations have opened up new approaches for understanding the complex structures and regulatory networks that characterize living organisms, their evolution and interactions. Research grants are provided for teams of scientists from different countries who wish to combine their expertise in innovative approaches to questions that could not be answered by individual laboratories. Preliminary results are not required and applicants are expected to develop new lines of research through the research collaboration. It is understood that such research inherently contains risks and HFSP expects that teams of applicants address the risks and outline mitigation strategies for their research in case of failure and how they intend to achieve their goals. Applications for applied research, including medical research typically funded by national medical research bodies, will be deemed ineligible. Research Grants - Early Career All team members are expected to direct a research group (however small) and must have a doctoral degree (PhD, MD or equivalent). They must be in a position to initiate and direct their own independent lines of research. The HFSP award is not intended to create scientific independence, this is a decision of the research institute prior to the application. Research Grants - Program 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. Applications including independent investigators early in their careers are encouraged. Eligibility HFSP Research Grants support teams of independent leaders of research groups.
