DESCRIPTION:Aim:  HFSP Research Grants support innovative basic research 
 into fundamental biological problems with emphasis placed on novel and int
 erdisciplinary approaches that involve scientific exchanges across nationa
 l and disciplinary boundaries. Projects are expected to be at the frontier
 s of knowledge and therefore entail risk. Participation of scientists from
  disciplines outside the traditional life sciences such as biophysics\, ch
 emistry\, computational biology\, computer science\, engineering\, mathema
 tics\, nanoscience or physics is recommended.\n\nResearch grants are provi
 ded for teams of scientists from different countries who wish to combine t
 heir expertise in innovative approaches to questions that could not be ans
 wered by individual laboratories. Preliminary results are not required and
  applicants are expected to develop new lines of research through the rese
 arch collaboration.\n\nTwo types of Research Grant are available:\n\n	Youn
 g Investigators: Awarded to teams of researchers\, all of whom are within 
 the first five years after obtaining an independent laboratory (e.g. Assis
 tant Professor\, Lecturer or equivalent). Applications for Young Investiga
 tors' Grants will be reviewed in competition with each other independently
  of applications for Program Grants.\n	Program Grants: Awarded to teams of
  independent researchers at any stage of their careers. The research team 
 is expected to develop new lines of research through the collaboration. Ap
 plications including independent investigators early in their careers are 
 encouraged\n\n\nFunding:       max. $450’000/year\, depending on te
 am size\n\nDuration:      36 months\n\nEligibility:  All members of a
  Program Grant team must be in a position to initiate and direct their own
  independent  lines of  research. They must have full scientific  and f
 inancial responsibility for their own laboratories (however small). All me
 mbers of a Young Investigators’ grant team must be within 5 years of obt
 aining an independent position (see below) but must have obtained their fi
 rst doctoral degree (PhD\, MD or  equivalent)not  longer  than  10 yea
 rs  before  the  deadline  for  submission  of  the  letter  of 
  intent. A Young  Investigator should be a project leader directing a res
 earch group. “Postdocs” are not eligible to apply for either program.\
 n\nOnly international research teams (with emphasis on intercontinental co
 llaborations)\,  not individual researchers\, are eligible. The number of
  team members should normally be 2 –4. HFSPO promotes new interdisciplin
 ary collaborations across the world. Therefore \,team members are expected
  to have  their labs in different countries\; they should not have collab
 orated before and must propose a project significantly different from thei
 r ongoing research. The international team must designate one of  its mem
 bers as the Principal Applicant\, who must be located in an HFSPO member c
 ountry (see guidelines).\n\nHow to Apply: You must first submit a “lette
 r of intent” to apply for a grant. A guide for writing this LOI is avail
 able here. To submit\, you must connect to our HFSP extranet  site (see i
 tem  8) and  obtain a  reference  number by 19-Mar-2020. The deadline 
 for receipt of this letter\, also submitted via the extranet site\, is 30-
 Mar-2020  awards to be announced in March 2021. You will be notified earl
 y July 2020 whether you are invited to submit a full application\, with a 
 deadline mid-September 2020.\n\nDeadline:      30-Mar-2020\n\nFurther
