BWF's Career Awards at the Scientific Interface (CASI) provide $560,000 over five years to bridge advanced postdoctoral training and the first three years of faculty service. These awards are open to U.S. and Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and temporary residents.

The Burroughs Wellcome Fund launched the Career Awards at the Scientific Interface in 1999 to foster the early career development of researchers who are transitioning from training environments in the physical, mathematical, computational sciences and/or engineering into postdoctoral work in the biological sciences, and who are dedicated to pursuing a career in academic research.

The Project Grant program is designed to capture ideas with the greatest potential to advance health-related fundamental or applied knowledge, health research, health care, health systems, and/or health outcomes. It supports research projects proposed and conducted by individual researchers or groups of researchers, at any career stage, in all areas of health. The best ideas may stem from new, incremental, innovative, and/or high-risk lines of inquiry; or knowledge translation approaches.

• Worker exposure at indoor illicit drug inhalation and overdose prevention sites

• Impact of fuel selection during live fire training on firefighter exposures to carcinogens

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Enable researchers to generate preliminary data or evidence necessary to demonstrate feasibility of new and innovative technologies for testing and monitoring of outbreaks and next-generation interventions;
• Support researchers in pursuing high-risk, high-reward research questions which have the potential to generate novel, innovative and high impact results to address persistent challenges in HIV/AIDS and STBBI for key populations in Canada and globally; and
• Stimulate innovation in HIV/AIDS and STBBI research by promoting cross-disciplinary research collaborations.
