Fellowships Awarded to 59 of the Most Pioneering Postdoctoral Scientists from 28 Nations

HFSP Fellowships last for three years and on average, provide $200,000 USD in total. Fellows work in the laboratory of a host scientist in a country that is different from where their Ph.D. was conferred. 

HFSP Long-Term Fellowships are for applicants with a Ph.D. in a biological topic who want to embark on a novel frontier project in the life sciences. Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships are for applicants who hold a Ph.D. in a non-biological discipline (e.g., physics, chemistry, engineering, or computer science), but want to work on a novel frontier project in biology. 

“Brilliance is not born, it has to be cultivated,” said HFSP Chief Scientific Officer Guntram Bauer. “HFSP has always strongly supported the next generation of pioneers through its Fellowship Program, and the 2024 fellows show enormous promise. We are thrilled to help them hone their expertise and expand their vision.”

Among all our awardees, we seek scientists who form international, preferably intercontinental, collaborative teams who have not worked together before and who are engaging in work for which they have no preliminary data. In this regard, HFSP fosters frontier research and science diplomacy.
