    INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS The Burroughs Wellcome Fund makes approximately 90 percent of our grants through competitive award programs, which support investigators in targeted areas of basic scientific research that have relevance to human health. Most of BWF’s award programs are open only to citizens or permanent residents of the United States and Canada. (Programs with different requirements are noted in the descriptions that follow.) Awards are made with the advice of our advisory committees, which comprise scientists and educators selected for their expertise in the program areas. Program application deadlines for the 2002 award series are listed in the “Program Application Deadlines” section. Most awards are made only to degree-granting institutions on behalf of individual researchers, who must be nominated by their institution. Institutions receiving awards must be tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations. Government agencies, such as the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, generally are not eligible for awards. Throughout the following program descriptions, references to M.D. and Ph.D. degrees include all types of medical and scientific doctoral degrees. BWE believes that diversity within the scientific community enhances the well-being of the research enterprise; therefore, we encourage applications from women and from members of underrepresented minority groups. BWE does not support activities that are primarily clinical in nature (such as disease diagnosis and treatment) or primarily related to health care and health care policy. We generally do not provide support for research projects or other activities outside our competitive programs, nor do we generally support endowments, development campaigns, ordinary operating expenses, capital facilities and equipment, or publications.
