About this Fellowship

Supports early career life scientists from underrepresented backgrounds from the beginning postdoctoral stage through the early years of faculty positions.

Fellows receive multi-year support for postdoctoral training and are eligible for additional research support if they secure a faculty position. The program is open to those dedicated to basic research from both doctoral and/or medical training paths in the biomedical and life science disciplines, including plant biology, evolutionary biology, biophysics, chemical biology, biomedical engineering, and computational biology.

Applicants must be from gender, racial, ethnic, or other groups underrepresented in the life sciences, including those individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Current graduate students who will complete their degrees before the fellowship period begins and who have been accepted to join a laboratory as a postdoctoral researcher may apply.

Application deadline is often at the end of February annually, but check their website for the most up to date information.

Salary or stipend commensurate with experience and additional support; personalized support for the faculty search.
