criteria must be met in order for applicants to be eligible for this
scholarship:
- Candidates
who hold, or are in the final stages of obtaining a Ph.D., M.D., or
equivalent degree and are seeking beginning postdoctoral training in basic
biomedical research are eligible to apply for a fellowship. The Foundation
accepts applications from candidates who have no more than one
year of postdoctoral research experience at the time of the
deadline for submitting the application (June 30, 2017), and who have
received a PhD (or D.Phil. or equivalent) degree no more than two
years before the deadline, or an M.D. degree no more than three
years before the deadline. - Fellowships
may be awarded to US citizens planning to work in laboratories either in
the US, Canada, or abroad and also to foreign citizens for research in
laboratories in the US only. We expect that most applicants will reside in
North America at the time of application. Foreign Students will need to
obtain appropriate visa documentation, as required by US Immigration. - Applications
from established scientists or advanced fellows will not be considered.
The fellowships are for early postdoctoral training only. Clinical
house-staff training does not count as “postdoctoral laboratory training.” - The
Foundation will not ordinarily consider applicants who plan tenure of the
fellowship in the laboratory in which they have already received extensive
predoctoral or postdoctoral training. The aim of the fellowship is to
broaden postdoctoral training and experience, and a significant change of
venue is advisable. - Since
the number of available fellowships is limited, the Foundation does not
make more than one award per year for training with a given supervisor. It
also does not support more than two fellows per laboratory at one time.
