One-Stop Shopping for Young Researchers
Seeking Fellowships, Grants The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) yesterday unveiled a new site on the Internet that offers young scientists information on how to obtain support for research and advanced training in the biomedical sciences. GrantsNet provides an extensive database on fellowships, grants and other sources of support for young biomedical scientists. The site also features links to the websites of funders, online applications, stories about previous fellowship recipients and comments from recent application reviewers. Built on an extensive collection of career resources data originally compiled by HHMI, GrantsNet includes funding information from many different foundations and other nonprofit organizations. Currently focused on graduate and postgraduate training and junior faculty positions, the site will soon expand to encompass undergraduate and precollege science education. Medical students and physicians can use GrantsNet to find programs that provide financial support for physician-researchers. Graduate students can find out about possible funding for postdoctoral positions. Undergraduates thinking of going to graduate school can learn about fellowships and other sources of support. 1st appeared 3/04/98 |
