Ono Breakthrough Initiative in Chemical Biology
Deadline: January 17, 2020
Amount: five awards of $1,035,000 for three years of support
We are pleased to announce the U has been invited to submit two faculty nominees for the Ono Pharma Foundation Breakthrough Science Initiative. For 2020 the Initiative is focused only on the field of Chemical Biology Research, broadly defined as research that deals with the interface between chemistry and biology.
The Foundation anticipates making five awards of $1,035,000 for three years of support (including direct and indirect costs). Interested faculty are encouraged to review the internal application criteria and apply via Infoready before January 17, 2020. Successful applicants will be notified quickly, to allow for submission of final nomination materials to the Foundation by February 20, 2020. Successful projects will be funded and begin Fall of 2020.
The goal of the Initiative is to accelerate researcher-driven open innovation by supporting high-risk and high-reward science research projects which have potential to lead to science discoveries/solutions and, possibly, based on further research, to breakthrough treatments for patients.
Please contact Chris Ostrander to learn more.

Howard Hughes Medical Institute: Investigator Awards
Deadline: March 18, 2020
Amount: Approx. $7M over seven years
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) is seeking to appoint approximately 20 new investigators through a national open competition. This effort will expand HHMI’s community of nearly 300 investigators who perform basic biological research across the nation.
HHMI investigators receive a seven-year appointment, renewable pending favorable scientific review. HHMI encourages investigators to push their research fields into new areas of inquiry. Investigators are employees of HHMI and receive salary and benefits from the Institute. Investigators are provided generous financial support for research as well as access to capital equipment funds. Appointments involve a collaborative agreement with the investigator’s host institution, where the researcher holds a concurrent appointment and the research is performed.
