BWF’s Innovation in Regulatory Science Awards provides up to $500,000 over five years to academic investigators developing new methodologies or innovative approaches in regulatory science that will ultimately inform the regulatory decisions the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and others make. We especially encourage applications from those seeking to advance regulatory science approaches that will expedite the realization of equitable clinical outcomes.
Deadline: Feb. 7, 2025 by 3 pm ET
BWF strongly encourages applications from persons who have been historically underrepresented in the research enterprise, including but not limited to: women of any ethnic or racial group; any person identifying as Black or African American, Latino/a or Hispanic American, Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, indigenous to the Pacific Islands; persons with disabilities; persons from disadvantaged backgrounds (see https://grants.nih. gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-20-031.html for examples); and individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+.
- Candidates may self-nominate but need to obtain approval by an official for sponsored programs at the institution where the work will be performed.
- Candidates must hold an M.D., Ph.D., D.V.M., D.D.S., D.O., D.Phil., Pharm.D., or M.D.-Ph.D. degree.
- Candidates must be based at a non-profit institution [501(c)(3) or equivalent] in the U.S. or Canada.
- Candidates must hold a faculty position, tenure-track or non-tenure track, or adjunct faculty position at an accredited, degree-granting institution in the United States or Canada; grants are made to the institutions on behalf of the award recipients.
- Candidates must be an investigator at the adjunct, assistant, associate, or full professor level.
- Citizens and non-citizen permanent and temporary residents of the U.S. and Canada who are legally qualified to work in the U.S. or Canada are eligible. Candidates who are temporary U.S. residents must hold a valid U.S. visa (J-1, H1B, F-1 or O-1 visas). Temporary Canadian residents must hold a valid Canadian visa (Study Permit, C-43, C44, C-10, or C-20 work permits/visas). If a grant is awarded and your visa does not allow for such a stay, BWF may terminate the grant. BWF will not intercede on behalf of non-citizens whose stay in the U.S. may be limited by their visa status. Your institution must verify your immigration status as part of your application.
- Candidates may only submit one application per award cycle.
If an institutional commitment by Duke University or a Duke University institutional signature is required for your application, the application must be reviewed by the Office of Research Administration (for School of Medicine and School of Nursing) or Office of Research Support (Campus Schools and Centers).
