• Funding for Biological Sciences
  http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_list.jsp?org=BIO
  • The National Science Foundation funds research and education in most fields of science and engineering. It does this through grants, and cooperative agreements to more than 2,000 colleges, universities, K-12 school systems, businesses, informal science organizations and other research organizations throughout the United States. The Foundation accounts for about one-fourth of federal support to academic institutions for basic research.
  • NSF receives approximately 40,000 proposals each year for research, education and training projects, of which approximately 11,000 are funded. In addition, the Foundation receives several thousand applications for graduate and postdoctoral fellowships.
  • The agency operates no laboratories itself but does support National Research Centers, user facilities, certain oceanographic vessels and Antarctic research stations. The Foundation also supports cooperative research between universities and industry, US participation in international scientific and engineering efforts, and educational activities at every academic level.5

  • For the third year in a row, L’Oréal USA is launching the application process for its For Women in Science Fellowship program. The program, which is open to women postdoctoral scientific researchers only, is designed to support the aspirational goals of young women interested in pursuing careers in the life and physical sciences as well as math, engineering and computer science.
  • Qualifying applicants are invited to visit the L’Oréal USA website, to download the application form and to get additional information on criteria and eligibility. The application process will be open for approximately 10 weeks and will close on October 27th, 2005. L’Oréal USA welcomes applications from diverse candidates.

  • To be eligible, the applicant must be enrolled as a graduate student, or engaged in post-doctoral or early-stage academic research. The applicant must also be a member of SDE/GWIS (membership may be obtained by including the membership application form and appropriate membership dues).
  • The major component of the research can be either applied or basic. Exact fellowship amounts will be determined by the Chair of each award committee and will range from $300 to $4,000. All awards will be available for the academic year and will be announced on or before July 1 of each year. Members may apply for only one award in any given year, and winners of a previous award may not apply for the same award (though they may apply for another) in any following years. Endowment funds, mostly generated from bequests, provide the annual income which supports scientific research done by GWIS Award winners. For the 2004-2005 cycle we awarded a total of $32,000 in the following manner:

    Fellowship Name	Amount Awarded
    SDE Fellowships:	$11,500
