CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:The HFSP fellowship program supports proposals for frontier\, 
 potentially transformative research in the life sciences. Applications for
  high-risk projects are particularly encouraged. The projects should be in
 terdisciplinary in nature and should challenge existing paradigms by using
  novel approaches and techniques. Scientifically\, they should address an 
 important problem or a barrier to progress in the field.\n\nHFSP postdocto
 ral fellowships encourage early career scientists to broaden their researc
 h skills by moving into new areas of study while working in a new country.
 \n\nTwo different fellowships are available:\n \n\n	Long-Term Fellowships
  (LTF) are for applicants with a PhD on a biological topic who want to emb
 ark on a novel and frontier project focusing on the life sciences.\n	Cross
 -Disciplinary Fellowships (CDF) are for applicants who hold a doctoral deg
 ree from a non-biological discipline (e.g. physics\, chemistry\, mathemati
 cs\, engineering or computer sciences) and who have not worked in the life
  sciences before.\n\n\nFunding:       Living allowance according to h
 ost country (see Guidelines)\, as well as a research and travel allowance.
 \n\nDuration:      36 months\n\nEligibility: A summary of eligibility 
 criteria is given below. For full details\, please see the Guidelines.\n

 ember countries can apply to work in a research institution in any country
 .\n	Applicants must propose to work in a country different from the one wh

 hose institutions that are not classified as national\, i.e. international

 ry in which the laboratory is located will be considered the host country.
  Candidates should not have spent more than 12 months in their proposed ho
 st institution at the activation date of the fellowship.\n	A research doct
 orate (PhD) or a doctoral-level degree comparable to a PhD with equivalent
  experience in basic research (e.g. a research based MD or medical PhD) mu
 st be conferred by the start of the fellowship\, but is not required at th
 e time of submission. If PhD has already been awarded\, The degree must ha
 ve been conferred in the 3 years prior to the submission deadline\n	Applic

 tives of HFSP and the scientific scope of the HFSP Fellowship program.\n	A
 pplicants must have at least one lead author publication by the submission
  deadline of the Letter of Intent which can be a manuscript (i) published
