2 years.

Upper  $140,000USD

1. Postdoctoral Research Fellowships are awarded to individuals who will be receiving training and conducting research at universities and other training institutions in the U.S. and abroad.
2. Fellowship applicants must have completed all requirements for a Ph.D., M.D., or other doctoral degree prior to the start date of the Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. Individuals who have three or more academic years of postdoctoral fellowship research experience prior to the time the Postdoctoral Research Fellowship would begin are not eligible for this award.
3. An AFSP Postdoctoral Research Fellowship may not be held concurrently with any other postdoctoral fellowship. Additional funds may be secured by the Fellow to support costs associated with the research project.
4. Although it is the general policy of AFSP that individuals may be the Principal Investigator on only one AFSP grant at a time, individuals holding an AFSP Postdoctoral Research Fellowship are eligible to receive additional funds through an AFSP Pilot Research Grant to support costs associated with the research project (as distinct from salary support or the Institutional Allowance, as described below).
   Fellows may apply for a Pilot Research Grant at any point during the Fellowship period (See AFSP Policies for Pilot Research Grants).
5. Recipients of the AFSP Postdoctoral Research Fellowship may not reapply for this award.
