In some cases the standard publication practice makes first authorship impossible (e.g. alphabetical listing of authors)

Scholarship Open for International Students: Students from HFSPO supporting countries (Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Cyprus (EU part only), Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Republic of Ireland, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States of America) and from any country can apply for these fellowships.

Scholarship Description: The Human Frontier Science Program Organization (HFSPO) supports innovative basic research into fundamental biological problems, with emphasis placed on novel approaches that cross disciplinary boundaries. Biological research has become increasingly quantitative through the participation of scientists from biophysics, physics, chemistry, computer science, engineering, mathematics and neuroscience. Such collaborations have led to new approaches to understanding the complex structures and regulatory networks that characterize the evolution and interactions of organisms and biological systems. Within this framework, HFSPO invites applications for its two international postdoctoral programs:
Long-term Fellowships (LTF) are for applicants with a PhD 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 (CDF) 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.

Number of award (s): The number of Deans’ scholarships awarded per annum is at the discretion of the Dean of each Faculty.

Duration of award (s): The HFSPO postdoctoral fellowship can be held for up to 3 years, with no possibility for renewal. Fellows may interrupt HFSPO support after the second year, for up to two years, while continuing postdoctoral work funded through other sources.

What does it cover? Generally 10-40% tuition for any undergraduate degree combination (excluding Bond University’s Medical Program).

Selection Criteria: There are three steps in the review process: eligibility assessment, expert review and triage, and evaluation by the entire review committee.
Eligibility assessment: all proposals are screened for formal eligibility and then by an ad hoc scientific committee for alignment of the proposed research with the scientific objectives of the HFSPO fellowship program. An application that does not meet the key requirements given in the guidelines will not be sent for expert review and the applicant will be informed. This process involves two Scientific Directors of HFSPO and the Chair of the fellowships review committee.
Expert review and triage: eligible applications are evaluated by two review committee members who assign categorical ratings based on the following criteria:
-the training potential of the fellowship based on the scientific originality and innovative character of the research proposal. For both types of fellowship award, a clear departure from the previous research is viewed favorably,
-the accomplishments and potential of the candidate relative to previous and current opportunities in terms of career stage and field of research,
- the quality of the host and the host environment,
-the information given by the candidate regarding his/her motivation, goals and achievements.
HFSPO does not impose a weighting among the individual selection criteria listed above; all criteria are considered equally.
- OUTSTANDING
- EXCELLENT
- ACCOMPLISHED
- LESS COMPETITIVE

Notification: The list of successful candidates is published on the HFSPO website in early April. The application and selection process is confidential, and neither the discussions of applications during review nor the information in unsuccessful applications are publicly released.

How to Apply: The mode of applying is online.

Scholarship Application Deadline: The deadline for password registration and initiation of the online application is 13 August 2013. The deadline for submitting applications for award year 2014 is 29 August 2013.
