The Postdoctoral Fellowships for Basic Scientists are one-year fellowships for young scientists, fresh from their Ph.D. training, to study at major research institutions.
This program grants funding in the amount of $42,500 for one year as well as a research allowance of $5,000 to be used at the discretion of the Fellow, with approval of the sponsor/mentor, to pay for such items as books, training courses, travel costs (up to $2,000) or a computer. There is no provision for the deduction of postdoctoral taxes, institutional overhead or fees. However, if the Fellow submits a written request, $3,000 of the research allowance may be used to defray the cost of premiums for health insurance.
Fellows may competitively reapply for continued funding after their first year for a total of three years of support. In these instances, an update of current research progress should be included in the six page proposal outlining what has been accomplished with the previous year's funding.
