Career Development Award | Human Frontier Science Program Human Frontier Science Program HFSP supports novel, innovative and interdisciplinary basic research focused on the complex mechanisms of living organisms. A clear emphasis is placed on novel collaborations that bring biologists together to focus on problems at the frontier of the life sciences.
Scientific Misconduct Policy San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) HFSP Open Access Statement Career Planning Presentation Other funding organizations In this section you find information about the awardees in the HFSP scientific programs. This includes a searchable database of HFSP awardees, information on the HFSP Nakasone Award and other achievements by HFSP awardees.
HFSP promotes and participates in several events every year. We are committed to bringing together the scientific community and forging new opportunities to network and have scientific discussions that help to create bridges and partnerships for the future of frontier science. The Human Frontier Science Program is a program of funding for frontier research in the life sciences.
It is implemented by the International Human Frontier Science Program Organization (HFSPO) with its office in Strasbourg. Here you can find all you need to know about the HFSPO. The Career Development Award (CDA) funds HFSP fellows who return to their home country or move to an HFSP member country to establish their independent laboratory.
It is the primary funding mechanism offered by HFSP that aims at encouraging repatriation of postdoctoral researchers after the fellowship tenure abroad. The goal of CDA support is to encourage former HFSP fellows to initiate an original research program in their own laboratories as independent researchers in their home country or in an HFSP member country.
Applicants for the CDA are expected to propose an original and innovative frontier research program that holds promise for the development of new approaches to problems in the life sciences with potential to advance the field of research significantly. The three-year award provides initial support during a critical period of career development.
Host institutions are expected to contribute additional resources in support of the awardees and their independent research program. The CDA is open only for former HFSP Fellows. Candidates are furthermore encouraged to select research institutions that are different from their PhD institutes to facilitate their scientific independence.
Eligible HFSP fellows will receive information in good time to apply for the Award. V.

Accelerator Grant is sponsored by Human Frontier Science Program Organization (HFSPO). This grant supports awarded HFSP Research Grant teams (Program or Early Career 2026) to integrate one additional scientist, an 'accelerator team member,' from specific member countries (India, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Republic of Korea, Singapore, South Africa) into their exi…
Postdoctoral Fellowships is sponsored by Human Frontier Science Program Organization (HFSPO). HFSP postdoctoral fellowships encourage early career scientists to broaden their research skills by moving into new areas of study while working in a new country. Two different fellowships are available: Long-Term Fellowships (LTF) for applicants with a PhD on a biological topic, and Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships (CDF) for applicants with a doctoral degree from a non-biological discipline who aim to gain training in biology. The program supports frontier, potentially transformative research in the life sciences, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary and high-risk projects.
MGPV Travel Grant is sponsored by Geological Society of America (GSA), Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology, Volcanology Division. MGPV Travel grants support student travel to the annual GSA meeting. Applications are restricted to active graduate or undergraduate students who are the presenting authors of an accepted abstract at the annual GSA meeting.

On August 26, 2026, NSF named the STC class of 2026: TEMPEST at Michigan State, GENIE at Northwestern, and a human-robot co-adaptation center at UT Austin. $90 million total, $6 million a year each. The 2023 class was four centers and $120 million. The award size is intact; the shelf space shrank 25 percent — and that is the number that should reshape how you plan a center proposal.
Read articleOn September 10, 2026, Brian Stone issued a memo restructuring how NSF makes grants: four inaugural Frontier Initiatives seated in the Director's office, a new Office of Metascience, single-reviewer Golden Tickets that can rescue a proposal panel consensus would kill, five-year-plus awards, and few-page short-duration applications. It lands in a year NSF is on pace for roughly 6,100 new grants — 46 percent below its 2021-2024 average. Here is what changes for proposal writers.
Read articleNIH published its 'what we heard' summary on the proposed cap on simultaneous Research Project Grants in August 2026. A four-RPG cap would free $1.3 billion for about 1,900 additional investigators; a two-RPG cap would free roughly $3.5 billion for about 5,200. Respondents overwhelmingly proposed alternatives. Here is what the comment record actually says, what NIH signaled about next steps, and how PIs and research offices should position before a policy notice lands.
