LSO: The G. Harold and Leila Y. Mathers Foundation Grant Program
The G. Harold and Leila Y. Mathers Foundation Grant Program
Internal Deadline: Friday, November 15, 2024, 11:59pm
The Mathers Foundation grant program primarily supports basic science, ideally with potential translational applications. Examples of current research areas include immunology, microbiome, structural biology, cellular physiology, cancer biology, genetics, genomics, microbiology and infectious diseases, stem cell biology, and neuroscience. The Foundation does not support research conducted in human subjects and will not fund requests for clinical trials or drug discovery. Requests for funding previously federally supported research and/or applications pending federal approval will not be accorded priority consideration.
Awards from the foundation are very competitive. The foundation will accept applications from investigators in any career stage. However, based on the foundation’s award history we particularly encourage mid-late career faculty with an established and recognized research background to apply. Collaborative research projects with other US based organizations are acceptable. Research collaborations between US based organizations and organizations based outside the US are not encouraged and will be given lower priority.
Although the maximum award is $700,000 over three years (inclusive of 10% indirect costs), careful consideration should be given to the actual costs of the project and the total budget amount should be commensurate with the project scope.
