Non-federal Funding Opportunities

The majority of funding to support life sciences research in the United States comes from federal re-

sources distributed by organizations like the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Founda-

tion, the Department of Defense, and more. However, recent administration changes have brought about

unprecedented instability in the federal grant funding stream. Given current circumstances, we wanted

to share a link to Penn Pivot-RP, a searchable database of fellowship and award opportunities, including

those from non-federal organizations, that provide alternative funding sources to graduate students and

postdoctoral scientists. Access this database here.

See below for a couple of funding sources with upcoming deadlines.
