The Helen Hay Whitney Foundation supports early postdoctoral research training in all basic biomedical sciences. Candidates who hold, or are in the final stages of obtaining a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree and are seeking beginning postdoctoral training in basic biomedical research are eligible to apply for a fellowship. Fellowships may be awarded to US citizens planning to work in laboratories either in the US, Canada, or abroad and also to foreign citizens for research in laboratories in the US only. Foreign Students will need to obtain appropriate visa documentation, as required by US Immigration.
