HMS Junior Faculty Armenise-Harvard Grants

An essential part of the Foundation's mission is support of promising young scientists at Harvard Medical School, women and men fresh out of medical school or post-doctoral training who may lack the extensive list of publications that is often necessary to attract research funding in today's highly competitive climate. Recent recipients of two-year grants from the HMS Junior Faculty Armenise-Harvard Grants Program include young scientists investigating:

  Factors within cells that allow viruses to replicate

  Genes controlled by circadian rhythms in animals and humans and their relationship to physiology and behavior

  Critical steps in the regulation of structural assembly of cells in higher plants and animals

  Regulation of gene expression in developing organisms

  The generation and differentiation of nervous-system cells during embryonic development in mammals.
