Early Career Funding for Biomedical Research: Meet the Richard and Susan Smith Family Foundation

The Richard and Susan Smith Family Foundation, in partnership with the Office of Research and Foundation Relations, will present a workshop to help acquaint researchers at BU with the Foundation’s early career funding programs in biomedical research.

The Foundation advances scientific discovery and human health by investing in Boston’s most promising early-career scientists and leading institutions as they work at the forefront of biomedical innovation. The Smith Family Awards Program for Excellence in Biomedical Research supports promising pre-tenure researchers as they establish their first independent lab ($300,000 over three years). The Smith Family Foundation Odyssey Award program supports highly innovative pre-tenure researchers to pursue unorthodox inquiries ($300,000 over two years).
