HFSP Fellowships is sponsored by Human Frontier Science Program. HFSP Fellowships support proposals for frontier, potentially transformative research in the life sciences, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary and high-risk projects. The fellowships encourage early career scientists to broaden their research skills by moving into new areas of study while working in a new country.
Two types are available: Long-Term Fellowships for those with a PhD in a biological topic, and Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships for those with a doctoral degree from a non-biological discipline wishing to conduct research in the life sciences.

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.
