Description
The
Whitehall Foundation works to advance scholarly research in the life sciences
through its research grants and grants-in-aid programs. It is the foundation's
policy to support those dynamic areas of basic biological research that are not
broadly supported by federal agencies or other foundations with specialized
missions. The foundation emphasizes the support of young scientists at the
beginning of their careers and productive senior scientists who wish to move
into new fields of interest.
To
that end, the foundation invites LOIs for two grant
programs:
Research
— Grants of up to $225,000 over three years will be awarded to established
scientists of all ages working at accredited institutions in the United States.
Grants will not be awarded to investigators who have already received, or
expect to receive, substantial support from other sources, even if it is for an
unrelated purpose.
Grants-in-Aid
— One-year grants of up to $30,000 will be awarded to researchers at the
assistant-professor level who experience difficulty in competing for research
funds because they have not yet become firmly established. Grants-in-Aid can
also be made to senior scientists.
The
foundation is interested in basic research in neurobiology, defined as follows:
invertebrate and vertebrate (excluding clinical) neurobiology, specifically
investigations of neural mechanisms involved in sensory, motor, and other
complex functions of the whole organism as these relate to behavior. The
overall goal should be to better understand behavioral outputs or brain
mechanisms of behavior.
