The Lalor Foundation



   

Postdoctoral Research Fellowship

Guidelines

The Lalor Foundation makes grants to institutions for basic postdoctoral research in mammalian reproductive biology as related to the regulation of fertility.

The goal of the foundation is to promote intensive research in the areas indicated and to assist and encourage able recent postdoctoral investigators in academic positions to follow research careers in reproductive physiology.

Eligibility of Institutions and Individuals

The institution must be exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and must submit a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that it is “not a private foundation.”

If the institution is not located in the United States and has not been classified by the Internal Revenue Service, please contact the fellowship manager at Grants Management Associates at the address below.

The individual nominated by the applicant institution for the postdoctoral fellowship for conduct of the work may be a citizen of any country. The individual should have training and experience of at least equal to the Ph.D. or M.D. level and should not have a faculty appointment (i.e., instructor, lecturer, or higher). Potential fellows should not have held the doctoral degree more than two years.

The applicant institution may make its nomination of a fellow from among its own personnel or elsewhere, but qualifications being equal, candidates from other than the proposing institution itself may carry modest preference. The application must name the institution’s nominee for fellowship and include his or her performance record. Only one application per laboratory/sponsor will be considered.

Financial Data

Grants will be $35,000 per year for coverage of fellowship stipend, fringes, and institutional overhead. Renewal for one additional year is possible under special circumstances.

Feel free to contact fellowshipmanager @ grantsmanagement.com with any questions.
