Internal Funding
Harvard Medical School (HMS)
HMS Foundation Funds (formally the Red Book)
Opportunities for Faculty and Fellows
The HMS Foundation Funds Program administers the nomination process for HMS/HSDM faculty and postdocs for funding opportunities from private foundations that require candidates to be nominated by either HMS or Harvard University. Each year several foundations invite HMS faculty and postdocs to apply for their fellowships and grants, which serve as critical funding at the early stages of a research career. Interested applicants must first apply for the HMS nomination through the HMS Foundation Funds, and a committee will select the final candidates to submit applications to the foundations. Some of the funding opportunity sponsors have invited DFCI to submit separate from this process. In such a case that DFCI has been invited to submit, you must go through DFCI and cannot submit through the HMS Foundation Funds process for that particular sponsor. Your first step should be to review the DFCI Limited Application web page to be sure you are submitting through the proper mechanism. If you are still unsure please email/contact Tami Simmons. Please direct all Harvard Foundation Funds inquiries to the Office of the HMS Dean for Academic and Clinical Affairs, Betty Carbunari, 617-432-7463, Betty_Carbunari@hms.harvard.edu.
Amount: Varies by opportunity
Deadline: April 7, 2015

Awardees will pursue a mentored research project in their area of expertise. It is expected that the research performed within the KL2/CMeRIT program will provide the basis for an independent NIH award (e.g., K23, K08, or R01). Applicants must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and must be in the first three years of a faculty appointment at a Harvard Catalyst-affiliated institution. Fellow applicants must be on the cusp of their first faculty position (within 6-12 months) and be able to devote 75% of their time to research training.
