Applications are welcome for two forms of research grants to be awarded in 2012: Young Investigators' Grants and Program Grants. Applications will first be screened according to a principle of "three I's": Innovative nature; Interdisciplinary approach; International, preferably Intercontinental, nature.

To apply for a grant applicants must first register with the HFSP by 22 March 2011, and submit a letter of intent by 31 March 2011. The guidelines for applicants are available via the link below.
