The Frontier Fellowship program supports outstanding biomedical researchers from around the world as they perform postdoctoral research in the areas of regenerative medicine, metabolism, and cancer. The Frontier Fellowship program is partnered with Children’s Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) in Dallas, Texas. Recipients of the Frontier Fellowship can work in any CRI lab or combination of labs. The Frontier Fellowship program accepts applicants on a rolling basis throughout the year.

Benefits

The Frontier Fellowship provides salary support for four years, funding to attend conferences, and a half-time technician in years 3 and 4.
