Funding, News and Announcements

HFSP supports international (preferably intercontinental) collaborations in basic life science research. Applicants are expected to develop novel lines of research distinct from their ongoing research. Preliminary results are not required.

Program Grants are for independent scientists at all stages of their careers while Young Investigators’ Grants are for teams of scientists who are all within 5 years of establishing an independent laboratory and within 10 years of obtaining their PhDs.

Both grant programs provide 3 years of support for 2 – 4 member teams, with not more than one member from any one country, unless critical for the innovative nature of the project. The principal applicant must be located in one of the HFSP member countries but co-investigators may be located in any country. 

Awards are dependent upon team size and successful teams will receive up to $450,000 per year.

Teams must initiate an application via the web site by March 19, 2018 to be eligible to submit a letter of intent. The LOI deadline is March 28, 2018.
