OBJECTIVE
The objective of this pilot research award is to provide funds to early career investigators to help establish their research careers, or to support projects that represent new research directions for established investigators.
REQUIREMENTS
The postdoctoral fellowship offers the opportunity to work with leaders in the field and can be a critical stepping stone toward becoming an independent investigator in addictions research. We accept applications for our postdoctoral fellowship on a rolling basis.
The postdoctoral training program is appropriate for:
Gilead welcomes funding requests for innovative, high-impact projects that relate to at least one of five core therapeutic areas: HIV/AIDS, liver diseases, hematology and oncology, inflammatory and respiratory diseases, and cardiovascular conditions. We consider a number of factors when reviewing grants, but it is most important for applications to demonstrate a strong commitment to — and capacity for — delivering the specific services your funded grant would support.
The Hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is a clinically oriented training program, providing broad exposure to all aspects of hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. The fellow spends nine months rotating on each of five clinical HPB services. The remaining three months are free of direct patient care obligations. It is expected that this time will be used to complete clinical research projects.
PSC Partners Seeking a Cure is a nonprofit foundation whose mission is to provide education and support to patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis, an autoimmune disease that causes the bile ducts inside and outside the liver to become scarred, narrowed, and eventually blocked, as well as their families and caregivers, and to raise funds for research on the causes, treatments, and a cure for PSC.
The Eppley Foundation supports advanced, novel, scientific research by PhDs or MDs with an established record of publication in their specialties. Candidates with newly awarded doctorates occasionally, but rarely, meet the Foundation’s requirements for advanced research. Any applicant to the Foundation must be associated with a nonprofit organization with headquarters or a branch office in the US to process the funds. Checks are not issued directly to individuals.
The Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation (FCF) is accepting proposals to support innovative research, leading to curative treatments for this aggressive teen/young adult liver cancer. Importantly, ASCO and other major organizations have noted that investigators should take high interest in this cancer as, due to patient age, this is a relatively simple cancer, i.e. few mutations, which potentially allows applications to other diseases as well.
About Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma (FL-HCC):
This program is a Foundation-wide activity that offers the National Science Foundation's most prestigious awards for faculty members beginning their independent careers. The intent of the program is to provide stable support at a sufficient level and duration to enable awardees to develop careers not only as outstanding researchers but also as educators demonstrating commitment to teaching, learning, and dissemination of knowledge.
From life-saving vaccines to sustainable energy development, science is making the world better for everyone. We know that jobs in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) are the jobs of tomorrow, but today, women only make up 24 percent of STEM workers in the United States, only 14 percent of the country’s engineers and 27 percent of computer science professionals. Without appropriate female representation, the potential STEM innovations of tomorrow will be missing half of the talent in our world.
The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation is accepting Letters of Intent for its 2019 Beckman Young Investigator grant program.
The annual program is intended to provide research support to the most promising young faculty members in the early stages of an academic career in the chemical or life sciences and to foster the invention of methods, instruments, and materials with the potential to open up new avenues of research in science.
