The Research Grant awards fall within the range of $15,000 to $40,000 per year for periods of one or two years. Applications are invited for larger amounts and longer durations must be very strongly justified.
The foundation awards research grants to individuals for individual projects and does not award grants to institutions for institutional programs. Individuals who receive research grants may be subject to taxation on the funds awarded.
Applications are reviewed once a year and final decisions are made by the Board of Directors at its meeting in December. Applicants will be informed promptly by email as well as letter of the Board’s decision.
Applicants for a research grant may be citizens of any country. All recipients of our research grant possess a PhD, MDor equivalent degree; there are no formal degree requirements for the grant. The grant may not be used to support research undertaken as part of the requirements for a graduate degree. Applicants need not be affiliated with an institution of higher learning, although most are college or university professors.
Deadline: August 1, 2012
