Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Human Frontier Science Program 2025-2027 - This award will help support the Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP), a multi-national, non-governmental, and interdisciplinary program for supporting life sciences.
HFSP has the goal of promoting and funding basic research focused on elucidating sophisticated and complex mechanisms of living organisms for the benefit of all humankind, through international cooperation.
Societal impact is achieved on multiple fronts, including for the academic community, the innovation ecosystem, and society at large.
A key element of the program will be to provide training and mentoring for U.S. postdoctoral researchers and support for investigators in the U.S. through team awards.
Since 1990, HFSP has supported highly competitive, bottom-up science by making awards based on high-risk, frontier character, originality, scientific excellence, and the potential to advance knowledge.
The life science topics supported are broad, multidisciplinary, and continually evolving.
Supported efforts include: a research grant program, a fellowship program, master classes, frontier workshops, and accelerator grants.
The international nature of the HFSP provides an important complement to the science usually supported by the member funding agencies, thereby helping to support groundbreaking frontier science that might not be possible otherwise.
This award is co-funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Biological Sciences and by the National Institutes of Health Fogarty Center.
This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
Subawards are not planned for this award.
