Funding Amounts: Up to $30,000 for one year

Description
The Whitehall Foundation’s Grants-in-Aid program supports scholarly research in the life sciences, particularly work in areas not heavily supported by federal agencies or foundations with specialized missions. It addresses the difficulty researchers can face in competing for research funds before they have become firmly established.
The program sits within Whitehall’s broader interest in supporting young scientists at the beginning of their careers and productive senior scientists who wish to move into new fields of interest. Grants-in-Aid provide one year of support for assistant professor-level researchers and may also be awarded to senior scientists. FamilieSCN2A shares this opportunity as an additional funding resource, separate from its own grant programs.
