The Office of Extramural Research at the NIH publishes funding opportunities (RFAs and Pas) on its website.
Grantsnet is a free (courtesy of HHMI and AAAS), “one-stop resource to find funds for training in the sciences and undergraduate science education.” The searchable database contains programs that offer training and research funding for graduate and medical students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty. Also provides funding news and discussion forums.
AAAS Fellowships are available in a number of areas, from Science & Technology Policy to Homeland Security.
CRISP (Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects) is a searchable database of federally funded biomedical research projects conducted at universities, hospitals, and other research institutions. It is maintained by the Office of Extramural Research at the NIH, and is free for public use.
Vanderbilt has a subscription to ResearchResearch , a database of worldwide funding opportunities in many disciplines.
The Foundation Center offers a fee-based database of 6,000 foundation and public charity programs that fund students, artists, researchers, and other individual grantseekers.
Burroughs Wellcome Fund's Career Awards in Biomedical Sciences provide support ranging from $445,000 for four years to $574,000 for six years. Candidates must have completed at least twelve but not more than 48 months of postdoctoral training.
The UNCF (United Negro College Fund) offers a number of fellowship opportunities at the postdoctoral and predoctoral levels aimed at increasing the exposure of minorities to research fields.
The Damon Runyon-Walter Winchell Foundation offers three-year fellowships to encourage the theoretical and experimental research relevant to the study of cancer and the search for cancer causes, mechanisms, therapies, and prevention. Only candidates beginning their first full-time postdoctoral appointment are eligible.
Vanderbilt University is committed to principles of equal opportunity and affirmative action.
