NSF Postdoc Fellowships in Biology

[Debra L. Martin]

NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Biology

Full Proposal Deadline Date:  November 5, 2007
Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Biology have one deadline each year.

SYNOPSIS

The Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) awards Postdoctoral 
Research Fellowships in Biology to recent recipients of the doctoral 
degree for research and training in selected 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.  
Currently the BIO programs are: Broadening Participation of 
Under-represented Groups in Biology and Biological Informatics.  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.

EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY

This program provides educational opportunities for Postdoctoral 
Fellows. Individuals interested in applying for funding should see
