Awards are announced in late-winter and early spring. Applications are invited from research-oriented Ph.D.s and M.D.s in the biological and biomedical sciences who are several years beyond the completion of their doctorate and who can provide strong evidence of the ability to conduct meritorious independent investigations. The fellowships are based on individual needs and can include a stipend as well as lab space, housing, funds for supplies and some equipment and travel. Include information of all current grant support with an explanation of the availability of these funds for your work at the Laboratory. These programs enhance undergraduate education in the biological sciences and are awarded to undergraduate students with a minimum of one year of biology and chemistry.
Awards consist of a stipend, housing, travel, laboratory fees and funds for supplies.
To encourage interest in scientific careers for students of promise, the Laboratory, along with the National Science Foundation and local contributors, provide funding to enable high school juniors and seniors to work in the laboratories of eminent physiologists and to participate in real research. Currently awards give preference to Maine students. Grants consist of a stipend, board, and funds for research participation. Requests for these funds are submitted by returning Principal Investigators and must include a brief justification and summary of scientific work proposed. There are ten separate laboratory buildings with a total of 32 laboratory units.
