The goal of the LRF Postdoctoral Fellowship Awards Program is to expand and strengthen the pool of outstanding junior investigators in the field of lymphatic research. These awards will support investigators who have recently received their doctorates, which is a critical point in career development when young scientists choose their lifelong research focus. LRF, a not-for-profit organization, is committed to promoting and supporting basic and translational research, and to fostering an interdisciplinary field of research that will result in improved understanding and/or advances in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of lymphatic diseases, lymphedema and related disorders. Projects in lymphoma or leukemia research are currently outside the scope of this program.

Eligibility
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. and/or M.D. or equivalent degree and have completed no more than three years of full-time postdoctoral research experience prior to the start of the grant cycle. The research project must be conducted under the supervision of a mentor who is an established investigator with an active and productive research program. Eligibility is NOT limited to those investigators with past experience in lymphatic research; international applications are welcome.
