color="#000000"><br>
<br>
The Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) awards Postdoctoral
Research Fellowships in Biology to recent recipients of the doctoral
degree for research and training in<i> selected</i> areas of biology
supported by BIO to encourage independence early in their research
careers and to permit them to pursue their research and training goals
in the most appropriate research locations regardless of the
availability of funding for the Fellows at that site. With this
solicitation, BIO is establishing a program solicitation for
announcing selected areas for its postdoctoral research
fellowships. <i><b> Currently the BIO programs are: Broadening
Participation of Under-represented Groups in Biology and Biological
Informatics. </b></i> It is expected that in future years, these
areas will change as new scientific and infrastructure opportunities
present themselves; and this solicitation will be changed to reflect
the areas being funded. The fellowships are also designed to
provide active mentoring of the Fellows by the sponsoring scientists
who will benefit from having additional members in their research
groups. The research and training plan of each fellowship must
address important scientific questions in contemporary biology within
the scope of the BIO Directorate and the specific guidelines in this
fellowship program solicitation. Because the fellowships are offered
only to postdoctoral scientists early in their careers, doctoral
advisors are encouraged to discuss the availability of BIO fellowships
with their graduate students early in their doctoral programs.
Fellowships are awards to individuals, not institutions, and are
administered by the Fellows.<br>
