General Funding Opportunities
American Association of University Women (AAUW) Fellowships & Grants (graduate and postdocs)
At AAUW, we’ve led the fight for fair pay and economic opportunity for women—and the battle continues: Women still get just 82 cents for every dollar paid to a man, and men continue to dominate the top roles and highest-paying professions. Though we are nonpartisan, we are not values-neutral: We fight to remove the barriers and biases that stand in the way of gender equity. We train women to negotiate for pay and benefits and to pursue leadership roles. And we advocate for federal, state and local laws and policies to ensure equity and end discrimination. We offer several fellowships and grants, including: American Fellowships<https://www.aauw.org/resources/programs/fellowships-grants/current-opportunities/american/> ($6,000-$30,000); Career Development Grants<https://www.aauw.org/resources/programs/fellowships-grants/current-opportunities/career-development/> ($2,000-$12,000); Community Action Grants<https://www.aauw.org/resources/programs/fellowships-grants/current-opportunities/community-action/> ($3,000-$10,000); International Fellowships<https://www.aauw.org/resources/programs/fellowships-grants/current-opportunities/international/> ($18,000-$30,000); International Project Grants<https://www.aauw.org/resources/programs/fellowships-grants/current-opportunities/international-project/> ($5,000-$7,000); Research Publication Grant in Engineering, Medicine and Science<https://www.aauw.org/resources/programs/fellowships-grants/current-opportunities/research-publication-grants/> ($10,000-$35,000); and Selected Professions Fellowships<https://www.aauw.org/resources/programs/fellowships-grants/current-opportunities/selected-professions-fellowships/> ($5,000-$18,000).

Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) Postdoctoral Fellowships
HFSP postdoctoral fellowships encourage early career scientists to broaden their research skills by moving into new areas for study while working in a new country. HFSP fellowships are for three years. Fellows may choose to stay for up to three years in the host country or use the last year of their fellowship to return to their home country or to move to another HFSPO member country. Long-Term Fellowships are for applicants with a Ph.D. in a biological discipline, who will broaden their expertise by proposing a project in the life sciences which is significantly different from their previous Ph.D. or postdoctoral work. Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships are for applicants with a Ph.D. from outside the life sciences (e.g., in physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering or computer sciences), who have had limited exposure to biology during their previous training. Applications for the 2022 HFSP Long-Term and Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships (to start in 2022) will follow a new two-step submission process via the online submission platform ProposalCentral.<https://proposalcentral.com/>
