FUNDING-PhRMA
Foundation – Research Starter Grants in Informatics, Pharmaceutics and
Pharmacology/Toxicology; September 1, 2018
Agency

Foundation
Description:
Informatics
- The
goal of the Informatics Research Starter Grants program is to promote
development and use of novel informatics in an integrative approach toward
understanding normal processes of human biology and disease processes.
Informatics awards support career development of scientists engaged in research
that significantly integrates state-of-the-art information technology developed
with advanced biological, chemical, and pharmacological
sciences.
Pharmaceutics
-
This award offers financial support to individuals beginning independent
research careers in pharmaceutics (including basic pharmaceutics,
biopharmaceutics, pharmaceutical technology, and pharmaceutical biotechnology)
at the faculty level.
Pharmacology/Toxicology
- These awards intend to encourage multidisciplinary training to apply the
perspective of molecular, cell, and systems biology to pharmacology and
toxicology research. Their scope includes basic drug action studies, detection
of cellular responses to drugs at the gene level that create opportunities to
optimize individualized drug therapy, and the corresponding evaluation of
pharmaceuticals in human and clinical populations.
Eligibility: Applicants
will be judged on the scientific merit of the proposed research and degree of
financial need. Those holding academic rank of assistant professor (or research
assistant professor) within a tenure track (or research track) appointment,
i.e., not instructor, are eligible to apply for a Research Starter Grant,
providing their proposed research is neither directly nor indirectly subsidized
to any significant degree by an extramural support mechanism. This program is
not intended for those in postdoctoral training. However, individuals in
postdoctoral training programs scheduled to conclude by January 1, 2018, who
will hold an academic appointment by that time may apply. All applicants
must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
