Faculty Starter Grants
Providing support to promising young scientists beginning independent research careers at the faculty level
Note From the PhRMA Foundation
To maximize the long-term impact of our resources and increase the number of talented researchers that we can keep in the scientific workforce, the PhRMA Foundation is strategically adjusting its grant portfolio. We are taking a temporary hiatus from accepting new Faculty Starter Grant applications.
We are restructuring our resources to stretch our funding further and ensure a more sustainable support system for early-career scientists. This decision allows us to optimize our financial capacity so we can protect and grow the scientific talent pipeline for years to come.
Please note that current Faculty Starter Grant awardees are unaffected by this change, and all existing funding commitments will be fully honored.
