Keystone Grants
Forecasted
Keystone Grants support postdoctoral and clinical fellows using histochemical and related visual techniques to reveal biochemical and molecular information about cells, tissues, and organs.
This grant was recently updated
2026 Keystone Grant applications are now closed, replacing the previous “now open” status. The funder now describes October 30, 2026 as the past application deadline and has removed the application link and open-call announcement.
Funder: The Histochemical Society
Due Dates (Anticipated): October 2027 (Application deadline)
Funding Amounts: $4,000 in direct research costs (2026 award amount); approximately one year
Summary: Supports postdoctoral and clinical fellows conducting research with histochemical and related visual techniques to study cells, tissues, and organs.
Key Information: Awardees must become Histochemical Society members before funds are disbursed; international applications are welcome.
Description
The Histochemical Society’s Keystone Grants encourage postdoctoral and clinical fellows to use visual techniques that reveal biochemical and molecular information about the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs. The program supports research involving immunohistochemistry, histochemical techniques, in situ hybridization, and related methods across basic, applied, translational, and clinical research.
The program emphasizes the effective and correct use of these techniques and how essential they are to completing the proposed project. Reviewers also consider the significance of the research question and feasibility, including access to suitable laboratory space, equipment, mentoring, and institutional support. Projects are expected to take approximately one year.
