Funding
A collection of funding opportunities for postdocs and graduate students.
The Presidential Postdoctoral Fellowship program identifies promising PhD graduates from underrepresented groups and/or those who have demonstrated support for underrepresented groups through their teaching and research to spend up to two years at Brown.
The Dean’s Postdoctoral Diversity Fellowship is a two-year research fellowship that was established by the Division of Biology and Medicine at Brown University to help grow, support, and retain a diverse scientific workforce. The fellowship program prepares scientists from groups historically underrepresented in the basic, biomedical, and behavioral sciences for careers in academia and other sectors.
Brown University’s Division of Biology and Medicine is proud to support pre and postdoctoral trainees in a wide range of studies through federally-funded training grants. These training programs are committed to building diversity and providing the resources necessary to help advance trainees in their field.
The Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations at Brown has compiled databases, tools, and resources to help you begin your grant search.
This database provides a broad range of funding opportunities from federal, governmental, international, private and corporate funders. You can find a link to it about halfway down this page on the website of the Office of Foundation Relations along with instructions for accessing SPIN.
