Funding physicists to do biology
DOI: 10.1063/1.4796276
The Human Frontier Science Program, an organization that funds international interdisciplinary research collaborations in neuroscience and molecular biology, is broadening its net to support researchers from the physical sciences, computer science, and engineering who work in biology. Founded in 1989, the Strasbourg, France-based HFSP was the brainchild of Japan’s former prime minister Yasuhiro Nakasone. With money from G7 countries, the European Union, and Switzerland, the HFSP spends about $50 million a year on research worldwide. Upcoming deadlines are 30 March for research grant letters of intent and 1 September for postdoctoral fellowships. For further information, see http://www.hfsp.org .
