The Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) supports innovative basic research into fundamental biological problems with emphasis placed on novel approaches involving scientific exchanges across national and disciplinary boundaries.
HFSP fellows may choose to stay for up to three years in the host country or use the last year of their fellowship to return to their home country and start their own laboratory.
There are two kinds of Fellowships:
* Long-Term Fellowships (LTF) for applicants with a Ph.D. in a biological discipline
* Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships (CDF) are open to applicants with a Ph.D. from outside the life sciences e.g. in physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering or computer sciences who have had limited exposure to biology during their previous training
Eligibility
A research doctorate (Ph.D.) or a doctoral-level degree comparable to a Ph.D. with equivalent experience in basic research (e.g. a research based M.D. or medical Ph.D.) will be required at the start of a fellowship.
Application
Candidates must register themselves until 25 August 2011. The deadline for submitting the complete application is 8 September 2011.
