HFSP Research Grants

International biology funding for teams that need unusual combinations of disciplines and countries.

HFSPCross-border research teamsRecurring programme

Who usually fits

  • life science teams spanning multiple disciplines
  • international groups with a scientifically necessary structure
  • ambitious biological questions that do not fit one lab

What to watch before drafting

  • whether the team design is scientifically necessary
  • how interdisciplinary the project really is
  • coordination logic that sounds real rather than decorative

Why this page matters

HFSP Research Grants stand out when the project genuinely depends on international and interdisciplinary design rather than simply benefitting from it.

HFSP is one of the clearest reminders that international collaboration is still highly fundable when the design is earned by the science.
