The purpose of this program is to encourage the development of medical research in child health by awarding small grants to new researchers, helping them gain a foothold in this important area. Awards are $25,000 in direct costs for two years.

The Distinguished Scientist Award (DSA) seeks to provide career and research support to early career scientists who demonstrate outstanding promise for making scientific and medical breakthroughs in the field of brain cancer research. The award provides up to $600,000 in funding over a four-year period. Over that time, recipients also receive additional support from the Foundation through its vast network of scientists in the field and annual alumni conference.

With the New Innovator in Food and Agriculture Research Award, FFAR will support up to 10 early-career scientists with up to $200,000 per year ($100,000 from award, $100,000 match).  The award is designed to give recipients three years of financial support to pursue highly innovative research in one or more of FFAR’s seven focus areas and to act as mentors to the next generation of standout scientists in food and agriculture. This is a limited submission.

These grants fund researchers who work in basic, translational, clinical, epidemiologic, bioengineering or any other scientific or research field, but are also working in a research environment capable of supporting transformational bladder cancer research.  Awards are $50,000 for one year.

The Leukemia Research Foundation exclusively funds New Investigators - individuals beginning to establish their own laboratories that are no longer under the tutelage of a senior scientist mentor. Providing one year grants of $100,000 to selected New Investigator researchers, allows innovative scientists to act on their ideas, and try new procedures and experiments that will hopefully lead to significant,breakthroughs. Researchers funded by the LRF publish their results in an effort to inform the scientific community about their advances. In addition, their initial results are used to obtain grants from larger, multi-year funding sources - thus furthering their research and potential for finding a cure. Applicants are required to submit a letter of inquiry (LOI). If the project is a match for the foundation, a full proposal will be invited.

The Princess Grace Foundation provides support to emerging theater, dance, and film artists in the early stage of their careers.  All nominees must be nominated.  Grant amounts vary widely, falling between $7,500 and $30,000.  Grants are given to nominating organization and money may not be used for administrative fees.

The National Kidney Foundation will award three, one-year, $35,000 awards in support of junior faculty. Promising young scientists are encouraged to submit proposals for investigating clinical research questions in nephrology, or closely related fields. Projects must be patient-oriented. The responsiveness of each application to the research agenda of the NKF will be one of the elements used in the assessment of proposals. 

The PhRMA Foundation seeks research proposals that investigate challenges and potential solutions related to evaluating the delivery, safe use, effectiveness, and value (clinical, patient-centered, and economic) of medicines and other health care interventions. Proposals could be empirical analyses or studies addressing methodological aspects of the following areas:
Real-world outcomes using real-world data and analytic tools
Clinical outcomes assessments
Patient-reported and/or patient-centered outcomes, especially for diverse and underserved populations
Patient- and equity-centered value assessment frameworks
Economic evaluations of health care interventions
Health preference research, particularly the perspectives of patients
Development of innovative decision and value communication tools
Evaluation and outcomes assessments focused on health equity and unmet need
Innovative methods for measuring and reporting novel value elements from different stakeholder perspectives

The Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program supports the research and teaching careers of talented young faculty in the chemical sciences. The award provides a $100,000 unrestricted research grant. This is a Limited Submission, review the Limited Submission Calendar for application information.

DOE Office of Science Early Career Research Program, supports the development of individual research programs of outstanding scientists early in their careers and stimulates research careers in the disciplines supported by DOE OS. DOE OS defines "early career" as those within 10 years of having received their Ph.D. and are untenured Assistant or Associate Professors on a tenure track. There can be no co-Principal Investigators. Funding is available at a minimum of $150,000 per year for five years.
