Michael J Fox Foundation
Title Target Validation
Sponsor Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Disease Research
URL http://www.michaeljfox.org/research_openFundingPrograms_program.cfm?ID=45
LOI Deadline November 29, 2011
Funding Up to $250,000 over two years (including direct and indirect costs).
To provide support to projects that determine whether treatment of a defined biological target provides a disease-relevant beneficial outcome.

Ellison Medical Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship
Title Postdoctoral Fellows in Aging Research Program
Sponsor Ellison Medical Foundation/American Federation for Aging Research
URL http://www.afar.org/research/funding/postdoc
LOI Deadline October 17, 2011
Amount Up to $60,492
The Ellison Medical Foundation, in partnership with the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR), created the Ellison/AFAR Postdoctoral Fellows in Aging Research Program to encourage and further the careers of postdoctoral fellows with outstanding promise in the basic biological and biomedical sciences relevant to understanding aging processes and age-related diseases and disabilities. The award is intended to provide significant support to permit these postdoctoral fellows to become established in the field of aging.

Wenner-Gren Foundation Post-PhD
Title Post-Ph.D. Research Grants
Sponsor Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, Inc.
URL http://www.wennergren.org/programs/post-phd-research-grants
Amount $25,000
Deadline Nov. 1, 2011
Post-Ph.D. Research Grants are awarded to individuals holding a Ph.D. or equivalent degree to support individual research projects. The program contributes to the Foundation's overall mission to support basic research in anthropology and to ensure that the discipline continues to be a source of vibrant and significant work that furthers our understanding of humanity's cultural and biological origins, development, and variation. The Foundation supports research that demonstrates a clear link to anthropological theory and debates, and promises to make a solid contribution to advancing these ideas. There is no preference for any methodology, research location, or subfield. The Foundation particularly welcomes proposals that employ a comparative perspective, can generate innovative approaches or ideas, and/or integrate two or more subfields.

Title Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships (anthropology)
Sponsor Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, Inc.
URL http://www.wennergren.org/programs/hunt-postdoctoral-fellowships
Amount $40,000
Deadline Nov. 1, 2011
Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships support the writing-up of already completed research. The fellowship is awarded to scholars in the earlier stages of their careers, when they frequently lack the time and resources to develop their research for publication. Scholars with a Ph.D. in hand for no more than ten years (from the application deadline) are eligible to apply. A maximum of eight Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships are awarded annually.

Burroughs Wellcome Fund
Title Institutional Program Unifying Population and Laboratory Based Sciences
Sponsor Burroughs Wellcome Fund
URL http://www.bwfund.org/page.php?mode=privateview&pageID=159
LOI Deadline February 15, 2012
Amount $2,500,000 over five years
A new institutional training award created to bridge the gap between the population and computational sciences and the laboratory-based biological sciences. The award will stimulate formation of new connections between existing concentrations of research strength in population approaches to human health and in bench based biological sciences. The goal is to establish training programs that partner researchers working in schools of medicine and schools (or academic divisions) of public health. With those required institutional partners in place, programs have the freedom to involve a diverse range of other potential partners including those working in international settings, industrial settings, national laboratories, laboratories of federal agencies, quantitative population research groups outside of the life sciences (examples include but are not limited to econometrics, demographics, applied mathematics, anthropology, and other fields not typically represented by departments within medical centers). The programs supported by these awards will develop young researchers who will be equally at home with the ideas, approaches, and insights generated at the molecular scale and at the population scale. Such programs may be free-standing graduate programs or newly defined tracks within existing programs. Trainees of such programs may bring new approaches to combining genomics with phenomics, addressing questions of population genetics, understanding molecular and environmental epidemiology, and a range of other issues important to understanding human health and its disruptors.
