Grant Program supports early-career biomedical scientists with basic and translational research funding to advance biomedical science and develop projects toward NIH R01 or other independent funding.
Funder: Edward Mallinckrodt Jr Foundation
Due Dates (Anticipated): July 2027 (Grant proposal deadline)
Funding Amounts: $75,000 annually for up to three years; nonrenewable
Summary: Supports early-career biomedical scientists in developing research projects toward NIH R01 or other independent funding.
Key Information: Applicants must not currently hold a substantial independent research award, such as an NIH R01 or equivalent.
The Edward Mallinckrodt Jr Foundation’s Grant Program supports early-career scientists as they establish research projects capable of attracting NIH R01 or other independent funding. The program is designed for tenure-track faculty members in their first through fourth year at U.S. institutions who hold an M.D. and/or Ph.D.
The foundation supports early-stage biomedical investigators conducting basic and translational research with the potential to make fundamental advances in biomedical science and advance the understanding, diagnosis, or treatment of disease. Grant support is directed to the investigator’s approved project and budget. Continued annual support depends on approved progress reports describing completed research, plans for the coming year, and resulting manuscripts.
