<b>Subject: </b>Call for Applications: Life Sciences Research
Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship Program<br>
<b><big><br>
From the Office of Foundation Relations, MIT </big></b><br>
<br>
Below you will find information on a call for applications for
the Life Sciences Research Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship
Program. <br>
<br>
Please forward to anyone who might be interested. <br>
<br>
<b><i>NOTE: The Office of Foundation Relations would be pleased
to provide assistance to anyone applying for a grant from
this program. It would also be helpful for us to know if
someone has applied, whether or not we assist him/her. For
more information, including a list of recently issued RFPs,
please visit our website (</i><font color="#3A88FE"><u><a

</i><br>
<i>NOTE: All proposals must be routed through the Office of
Sponsored Programs prior to submission.<br>
</i></b><br>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>
<br>
<b>Deadline: October 1, 2013<br>
<br>
Note: This grant does not cover indirect costs -- it will
incur underrecovery<br>
</b><br>
The LSRF solicits monies from industry, foundations and
individuals to support postdoctoral fellowships in the life
sciences. Active solicitation of funds continues, for which we
need the assistance of all concerned individuals. We recognize
that discoveries and the application of innovations in biology
for the public's good will depend upon the training and support
of the highest quality young scientists in the very best
research environments. 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; virology.<br>
<br>
<b>Eligibility Criteria<br>
To be eligible, candidates must:<br>
</b><br>
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 to their previous research. All U.S. citizens are
eligible to apply with no geographic restriction on the
laboratory of their choice. Foreign applicants will be eligible
for study in U.S. laboratories. LSRF fellows must carry out
their research at nonprofit institutions. LSRF fellows may
change projects, laboratories, and/or institutions during the
fellowship as long as the eligibility rules listed here are not
violated. A person holding a faculty appointment is not eligible
to apply for an LSRF fellowship.<br>
<br>
<b>Note:</b> There may be no more than one LSRF fellow in any
one 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).
<b>Please verify this matter with your intended supervisor.<br>
</b>The fellowship cannot be used to support research that has a
patent commitment or involves any other kind of agreement with a
commercial, profit-making company. Any patentable discovery from
the individual's research becomes the property of the
institution where the research is conducted.<br>
