Biology funding

Undergraduate or graduate-level students registered at Karolinska Institutet or a collaborating university, studying data science, machine learning, engineering or a relevant subject, with strong Python or R skills. The scholarship supports qualifying research education rather than employment.

A tenured or tenure-track independent group leader at an EU, Schengen-area or UK university, hospital or nonprofit institution leads a consortium of two to four groups. The lead needs at least 75% host employment and guaranteed salary. At least one applicant must have a Danish group and at least 75% Danish employment; co-applicants may be worldwide.

The appointment authority of a Danish university, hospital or nonprofit research institution applies for an assessed candidate and qualifying faculty offer. Mobility to a new institution is required: normally no more than 12 of the previous 36 months at the host. Internal recruitment is excluded; domestic moves normally require career progression.

Researchers at any career stage at an accredited US two- or four-year higher-education institution or a US nonprofit non-academic research organisation that can accept the gift. Apply individually; collaborative proposals are excluded. The idea must fit curiosity-driven basic science in the call’s eligible disciplines.

For incoming foreign researchers living outside Sweden who intend a temporary postdoctoral stay. Residents of Sweden and people who completed any academic education at KI or another Swedish institution are ineligible. A doctorate or equivalent must be completed before the intended start; candidates finishing their doctorate may apply. Scholarships cover at most two years within four years of the doctorate. Extensive circuit/systems neuroscience experience, quantitative methods, statistics, programming and at least one first-author paper are required.

Researchers of any nationality; the reference point for eligibility is the certified date of the successful PhD defence.

Applicants based at a UK research organisation eligible for BBSRC funding, with a direct link to current or previous BBSRC-supported funding; international/overseas institutions ineligible.

U.S. citizens, nationals or permanent residents pursuing an eligible research-based STEM master’s or doctorate at an accredited nonprofit U.S. institution. Eligible stages include final-year undergraduates, bachelor’s holders with no graduate enrollment, eligible joint bachelor’s–master’s students, and first-year graduate students with less than one academic year completed. Second-year graduate students are ineligible. Degree, field and proposed-research exclusions apply.

Eligible US higher-education, nonprofit, for-profit and other organisations listed in the NOFO apply through their institution. Non-US organisations and non-US components of US organisations cannot apply. Required institutional registrations apply. Foreign components are allowed, but foreign subawards or subcontracts are not allowed under this NOFO.

Full-time investigators at Assistant Professor level or equivalent and above; students and postdocs cannot be lead applicants. Eligible international institutions may apply, subject to programme and sanctions rules. Only one proposal per applicant across the current competition; reporting and institutional exclusions apply.

Full-time investigators at Assistant Professor level or equivalent and above; students and postdocs cannot be lead applicants.

Full-time investigators at Assistant Professor level or equivalent and above; students and postdocs cannot be lead applicants. Eligible international institutions may apply, subject to programme and sanctions rules. Only one proposal per applicant across the current competition; reporting and institutional exclusions apply.

Applicants must work within a participating journal’s scientific remit. Applications are limited to one journal per person per round and one person per laboratory per journal per round; retrospective visits are ineligible.

PhD in computational biology or a relevant biomedical field with computational expertise, Python/R skills and at least one first-author publication. The doctorate must be completed before starting and normally within the preceding four years. Applicants must meet KI’s foreign-researcher conditions: resident outside Sweden and no academic education at a Swedish institution.

Principal investigators who have led an independent research programme for at least seven years; at least 75% on-site commitment to a Danish host and the principal group established there within two years. NNF review-panel members and Novo Group employees are excluded; overlapping NNF investigator-grant rules apply.

Open to any nationality with a completed PhD and no more than six years of actual postdoctoral research experience at the deadline, allowing career breaks and part-time adjustments. Applicants must show a current need for flexibility, such as primary caring responsibilities or a clinically diagnosed health condition. Tenure-track, permanent and proleptic postholders, and researchers who hold or previously held an equivalent UK independent-group fellowship, are ineligible. The host must be an eligible UK higher-education, research-council, nonprofit research or public-sector research institution.

US citizens or permanent residents who will be first- or second-year PhD students in fall 2027, undertaking a full-time, in-person US PhD addressing major near-term societal problems. The PhD portion of an MD/PhD can qualify.

University of Vienna postdoctoral researchers, senior scientists, tenure-track assistant professors, associate professors and full professors from all disciplines may apply. Lecturers, senior lecturers and Privatdozenten are excluded. For fixed-term researchers subject to section 109 or applicants nearing retirement, the applicant or a project partner must be able to submit and carry out the follow-on externally funded project.

MD and/or PhD neuroscience postdoctoral researchers with three to six years of postdoctoral experience by 1 July 2027, at a US institution, with at least 75% effort committed. A dean or equivalent institutional official must nominate the sole institutional candidate. Visa holders must have authorisation covering the award period.
