Individual Biomedical Research Awards
The Hartwell Foundation provides funding to individual
researchers at eligible research institutions in the
United States. The Hartwell Individual Biomedical
Research Awards offer support for three years at
$100,000 direct cost per year.
Each year The Hartwell Foundation announces its
Top Ten Centers
of Biomedical Research, inviting each center to
participate in nominating four individuals for a
Hartwell Individual Biomedical Research Award. From
time-to-time, the Foundation may also select
institutions at-large for limited participation in
nominating two individuals for the Award. Through a
unique and selective funding process, The Hartwell
Foundation seeks to inspire innovation and achievement
by funding early-stage, transformative biomedical
research with the potential to benefit children of the
United States. It seeks to fund early-stage, innovative,
and cutting-edge applied research that has not yet
qualified for funding from traditional outside sources.
Institutions selected by The Hartwell Foundation submit
the best research proposals from their faculty and
research staff in an internal and open competition of
their own design, which meets Foundation guidelines. All
nominees submit a formal proposal to the Foundation and
participate in a subsequent personal interview, which
includes a presentation of their proposed research. From
the nominees submitted by selected institutions, the
Foundation chooses at least the ten of the most outstanding candidates
to receive a Hartwell Individual Biomedical Research
Award, which is funded in April.
A unique feature of the Individual Biomedical Research Award is that each
Hartwell Investigator receives a video conferencing
system to enhance communication with the Foundation and
encourage collaboration between other researchers. All
of the Hartwell Investigators attend the Foundation's
Annual
Meeting the first week of October to present their
research results.
Only
investigators nominated by the chief executive of an
invited research institution are eligible for
consideration for the Hartwell Individual Biomedical
Research Award. Institutions that desire selection
consideration should contact The
Hartwell Foundation for further information.
