The Edward Mallinckrodt, Jr. Foundation supports early-stage biomedical investigators engaged in basic and translational research that has the potential to make fundamental advances in biomedical science, with a focus on supporting the biomedical science community in Saint Louis, Missouri.
The grant targets tenure-track faculty members within their first to fourth year at American institutions who hold M.D. and/or Ph.D. degrees. It offers start-up support to advance projects to a stage where they can secure R01 or other independent funding, providing $75,000 annually for a period of up to three years. Grants are intended for projects that can significantly advance biomedical science but are not renewable. Funding continuity is contingent upon the recipient remaining at the proposing institution, unless a transfer is justified and approved by the Foundation's Trustees.
