Burroughs Wellcome Fund (BWF) requires all applications for this program to be submitted electronically through BWF's web-based Grant Application System. The applications must be submitted by January 18, 2011, by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. No exceptions.

Applicants are encouraged to start early and review the program background, eligibility, selection, and FAQs prior to beginning the application.
