<div>The mission of the Life Sciences Research Foundation (LSRF)
is to establish partnerships between those who support
research in the life sciences and academic institutions for
their mutual benefit. The simple vehicle for achieving this
partnership is a highly competitive postdoctoral fellowship
program. LSRF awards fellowships across the spectrum of the
life sciences: biochemistry; cell, developmental, molecular,
plant, structural, organismic population, and evolutionary
biology; endocrinology; immunology; microbiology;
neurobiology; physiology; and virology.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Three-year fellowships will be awarded on a competitive
basis to graduates of medical and graduate schools in the
biological sciences holding M.D., Ph.D., D.V.M., or D.D.S.
degrees. Awards will be based solely on the quality of the
individual applicant's previous accomplishments and on the
merit of the proposal for postdoctoral research. Persons
doing a second postdoc are eligible only if they are
transferring to a different supervisor's laboratory and
embarking on a new project not connected with their previous
research. A person holding a faculty appointment is not
eligible to apply for an LSRF fellowship.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Note: There may be no more than one LSRF fellow in any
laboratory at a time. If a laboratory contains an LSRF
fellow, an applicant intending to work in that particular lab
would be eligible to apply only during the current fellow's
final year. However, multiple applicants may apply from a lab
which does not contain an LSRF fellow (but only one fellowship
would be awarded).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The fellowship award is $57,000 per year and is meant to be
a minigrant. LSRF keeps $1000 for administrative expenses and
passes the rest to the fellow. The salary scale begins at
$43,000 for a first-year postdoc, $45,000 for a second year,
and $47,000 thereafter. The fellow will control expenditure
of the remainder. It may be used for fringe benefits (up to
$2000/year), travel to the host institution, travel to visit
the sponsor and to the LSRF annual meeting, research supplies,
or equipment in support of the fellow's research. The LSRF
does not award any institutional allowance for overhead.</div>
