The Burroughs Wellcome Fund’s grantmaking strategies support biomedical scientists at the beginning of their careers and areas of science that are poised for significant advancement but are currently undervalued and underfunded.

” The majority of the BWF ’s grantmaking is through competitive award programs. Most awards are made to degree-granting institutions in the United States and Canada on behalf of individual researchers, who must be nominated by their institution. All institutions receiving awards must be tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations.
Each program has an Advisory Committee consisting of members who are external peer reviewers that lend their expertise and time to reviewing and assessing applications for BWF programs. BWF selects members of these committees for their scientific and educational expertise in the program areas.
The committee meets, for some programs, to interview potential nominees, and make recommendations based on their experiences to the BWF Board of Directors. Members of the various advisory committees are complete and separate bodies from the BWF Board of Directors. To apply for the competitive award programs, select the program below and follow the guidelines and application requirements.
All applications must be submitted no later than 4:00 p. m. , Eastern Time, on the deadline date provided for the indicated program.
