The Whitehall Foundation is now accepting Letters of Intent for its Spring 2027 grants cycle.
The Foundation is currently interested in basic research in neurobiology, defined as follows: Invertebrate and vertebrate (excluding clinical) neurobiology, specifically investigations of neural mechanisms involved in sensory, motor, and other complex functions of the whole organism as these relate to behavior. The overall goal should be to better understand behavioral output or brain mechanisms of behavior.
Whitehall Research Grants award up to $100,000 per year for two to three years.
The Whitehall Foundation also awards Grants-in-Aid for up to $30,000 for a one-year period. The Grants-in-Aid program is designed for researchers at the assistant professor level who experience difficulty in competing for research funds because they have not yet become firmly established.
Eligibility criteria include:
- Faculty appointment at the Assistant Professor level, with Principal Investigator status and dedicated lab space. Applicants just starting their careers are preferred.
- No more than approximately $200,000 per year in extramural funding.
Please see RFP for full criteria.
To Apply:
- This is an open RFP (UCSF may submit an unlimited number of applications).
- Email [email protected] to announce your intention to apply, then follow application instructions in RFP, conferring with your Grants Officer as needed.
- Letter of Intent deadline is October 1, 2026. If you are invited to submit a full application, the deadline will be February 15, 2027.
