Biology funding

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 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.

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.

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.

PhD normally within four years, or the specified medical qualification/clinical pathway; at least 12 months of postdoctoral or post-medical research. Applicants must have Swiss nationality, a qualifying Swiss degree, or at least 12 months of qualifying post-degree research/clinical work in Switzerland. Full regulations and extension rules apply.

Early-career researchers ready to lead a creative research programme who meet Wellcome's career-stage, host-organization and research-remit rules. Applicants should confirm all scheme-specific eligibility before submission.

Applicants must identify as Black heritage, including the specified mixed Black backgrounds, and be UK nationals or have completed part of a UK undergraduate, masters or PhD degree or held a UK postdoctoral position. A PhD must be completed by the fellowship start; final-year doctoral applicants may apply with supervisor support. Less than 24 months of full-time postdoctoral experience is permitted at the deadline, with career-break adjustments. An eligible UK higher-education, research-council, nonprofit research or public-sector research host is required; permanent posts are ineligible.

Postdoctoral researchers proposing an internationally mobile life-science project who meet EMBO's degree, publication, mobility and host-laboratory rules. Applications are accepted throughout the year and evaluated at selection cutoffs.

Internationally mobile postdoctoral researchers in life sciences; degree, publication and host rules apply.

Early-career postdoctoral researchers. The German position route is open to researchers abroad irrespective of nationality or previous German employment. Funding outside Germany requires prior integration into Germany’s research system; additional education, residence and host-tenure limits apply. A German host declaration is needed for the position route.

Applicants need a doctorate, appropriate research qualifications, an invitation from an excellent host abroad and an option to return to an Austrian institution. The FWF territoriality principle must be met; this is not an unrestricted incoming fellowship.

Postdoctoral researchers normally within five years of their doctorate, with an Austrian research host and a mentor. Career-break provisions apply. Near-completion doctoral candidates may apply if the doctorate is completed during review and before the project starts.

Applicants must be qualified to lead the proposed research and have an Austrian host with the necessary infrastructure. International applicants can apply through an eligible Austrian institution; consult the programme guidelines for full requirements. Applicants must transfer their main research focus to Austria if it is currently abroad; maintaining a permanent research focus above 50% outside Austria is ineligible. The lead-institution employment requirement is at least five hours weekly for the project duration.

PhD/MD students, postdocs and qualifying prospective PhD candidates in basic biomedical research. European citizens may work worldwide; non-European citizens must undertake the relevant project in Europe or use the grant to work there. University-entrance qualification normally no more than 11 years earlier for students/graduates or 13 years for postdocs. Programme exclusions and exception rules apply.

Active researchers at any career stage with at least one year of graduate-level research experience, working in an eligible EMBC or partner country. Cross-border mobility is required. Previous or existing collaborations, former supervisors and previously visited labs are excluded; researchers must return home for at least six months.

Qualified researchers (as a rule, those holding a doctorate) from all disciplines working at German research institutions.
