The Grants-in-Aid program is designed for researchers at the assistant professor level who experience difficulty in competing for research funds because they have not yet become firmly established. Grants-in-Aid can also be made to senior scientists. All applications will be judged on the scientific merit and innovative aspects of the proposal, as well as on past performance and evidence of the applicants continued productivity. Grants-in-Aid are awarded for a one-year period and do not exceed $30,000. Application deadlines are June 1, September 1, and February 15 for the summer, fall, and spring sessions, respectively. The Foundation encourages the use of electronic mail. All correspondence and reports should be sent to email@whitehall.org. The Letter of Intent must be submitted in hard copy on institutional letterhead.
