The Whitehall Foundation aims to advance scholarly research in the life sciences. It specifically supports dynamic areas of basic biological research that are underfunded by federal agencies and other foundations. The foundation periodically reviews the needs for financial support across various fields of biological research, with a current focus on basic research in neurobiology.
The Whitehall Foundation's grant program is designed to support established scientists and assist emerging researchers in the life sciences, particularly in the field of neurobiology. The grants target research into neural mechanisms related to sensory, motor, and complex functions as they connect to behavior, aiming to enhance understanding of behavioral output or brain mechanisms involved in behavior. The foundation offers up to three-year research grants to scientists of all ages at accredited institutions in the U.S., based on scientific merit, innovation, and applicant competence. It also provides one-year Grants-in-Aid up to $30,000 for assistant professors and occasionally senior scientists who struggle to secure research funding, assessed similarly by scientific merit and the applicant's potential for continued productivity. This approach ensures a breadth of support for pioneering biological research with significant flexibility and responsiveness to the evolving landscape of scientific inquiry in neurobiology.
