Letters of intent for The Hartwell Foundation 2015 research awards due June 1

The Office of Research and Technology Management is accepting internal applications for The Hartwell Foundation’s Individual Biomedical Research Awards.

The deadline for letters of intent will be Monday, June 1, and internal proposals will be due June 30.

Because Case Western Reserve University earned an at-large bid in The Hartwell Foundation’s Individual Biomedical Research Awards program, CWRU is eligible to nominate two faculty members for proposal submission this year. In 2011, both of CWRU’s applicants were selected for awards. In 2012, 2013 and 2014, one of CWRU’s two applicants were selected.

The foundation funds 10 Hartwell Investigators annually for innovative, early-stage, cutting-edge biomedical research that has the potential to benefit children. These awards provide funding to individual researchers in the U.S. for three years, at $100,000 direct cost per year.

In addition, for each Case Western Reserve University nominee selected for a 2015 Individual Biomedical Research Award, the university will receive funding for one postdoctoral candidate of its choice in biomedical science who exemplifies the values of The Hartwell Foundation.

Hartwell Fellowships offer support for two years at $50,000 direct cost per year to support scientists in the early stage of their research career by enabling them to pursue further specialized training as part of their professional development.
