The International Human Frontier Science Program strives to strengthen open scientific inquiry by initiating international collaborative, interdisciplinary and cutting-edge basic research in the life sciences. The program funds projects in basic research studying fundamental problems on all levels of life sciences. The HFSP supports novel collaborations that may lead to a breakthrough by bringing together scientists with distinct expertise from the life sciences and other disciplines such as mathematics, physics, engineering or psychology to focus on problems at the frontiers of the life sciences. 

The new HFSP Accelerator Grant, based on the HFSP Shared Values, will contribute to strengthening diversity, equity, and inclusion. It supports the partnering of awarded HFSP Research Grant teams with excellent researchers in selected member countries. All teams who have been awarded a Research Grant – Program or a Research Grant – Early Career 2025 are invited to apply for HFSP Accelerator Grants to support the integration of one additional scientist – the accelerator team member – in the awarded HFSP grant project and team.
