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.

*Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible, candidates must:
*
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.

*Note:* 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). *Please verify this matter with your 
intended supervisor.
*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.
