Who can apply: The principal investigator must have a faculty appointment or equivalent position at a nonprofit or academic research institution. U.S. and international researchers are eligible, and investigators at all career stages may apply, with early-career investigators especially encouraged. Postdoctoral fellows may apply only if they can confirm a faculty appointment beginning by the funding period. The proposal should represent a new research direction; investigators with substantial existing funding on the proposed topic are unlikely to be competitive.
Who can apply: Organizations contributing significantly to the Nashville area. The Foundation does not support individuals, private foundations, political activities, advertising or sponsorships, and ordinarily does not support limited-audience organizations, disease-specific organizations, biomedical or clinical research, or tax-supported institutions.
