Overview
AFSP Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Innovation Grants fund investigators who received a PhD, MD, or other doctoral degree within the preceding six years (no more than three years of prior fellowship support). Up to $140,000 over 2 years, including a $56,000/yr stipend and $14,000/yr institutional allowance. FIA: Fact — the AFSP /grants page lists this as an active annual research-grant program with award ceiling as stated. The posted 2025 grant cycle showed LOI due Aug 1, 2025 (Focus) / Sep 15 (Linked Standard), applications due Nov 15, 2025 (Innovation) or Dec 7, 2025 (Focus); those 2025 dates have passed. Assumption — the program recurs annually; the 2026 cycle dates were not posted on the scraped page. No 2026 deadline fabricated.
