Description
The Hartwell Foundation Biomedical Research Fellowships provide two years of financial support to postdoctoral scientists pursuing advanced training in biomedical research at leading institutions across the United States. The program aims to foster professional development and encourage innovative research that benefits children. Each year, institutions designated as "Top Ten Centers of Biomedical Research" by The Hartwell Foundation are invited to nominate outstanding postdoctoral candidates for the fellowship. The fellowships are intended to empower early-career researchers as they transition toward permanent roles in academia, industry, or government, with a focus on projects that have the potential for significant impact on children’s health.
