Grants Guide/Awards for Faculty

The Burroughs Wellcome Fund has two programs for which faculty of degree-granting institutions in the United States and Canada are eligible:

Investigators in Pathogenesis of Infectious Diseases

These awards are targeted toward assistant professors for the study of pathogenesis, with a focus on the intersection of human and pathogen biology. The program is intended to shed light on the overarching issues of how human hosts handle infectious challenge.

Clinical Scientist Awards in Translational Research

These awards are targeted toward established, independent late assistant or associate professors whose work bridges the gap between basic research and patient care. The awards are intended to give recipients the freedom and flexibility to explore fundamental scientific questions, to apply the resulting knowledge at the bedside, and to bring insights from the clinical setting back to the laboratory for further exploration.
