Description
The Edward Mallinckrodt Jr Foundation provides grants to support tenure-track faculty in their first to fourth year at American institutions, holding M.D. and/or Ph.D. degrees. The grant offers start-up funding intended to advance biomedical research projects to a stage where independent funding (such as an NIH R01) can be obtained. The program emphasizes clear communication for both scientific and non-scientific reviewers and requires annual progress reports for continuation of funding. Grants are institutionally restricted, non-renewable, and do not cover overhead costs.
