Tips for Applicants
- ✓Secure both a sponsor (assistant professor or higher) and a co-sponsor at your host institution before drafting the application, since this structure is required rather than optional.
- ✓Frame the project as hypothesis-driven and explicitly bridging immunology with computational/data science methods, not purely wet-lab or purely computational work.
- ✓Confirm your host institution's non-profit status early, since eligibility hinges on this regardless of US or international location.
