Funding Priorities
The Bender Scientific Fund was established for the exclusive purpose of making grants to support and promote discovery and development in medicine, science and technology in the Capital Region. Grants may be made to fund:
- Research in medicine, biotechnology and life sciences;
- Educational and information-sciences projects related to medicine, biotechnology and life sciences. The Fund is especially interested in research that addresses beginning research studies and in educational projects that would promote continuing discovery and learning. To this end, encourage smaller nonprofit organizations and schools to apply for funding for projects that promote further exploration of medicine, biotechnology and life sciences by young people.
- The Fund will not support institutional overhead, nor will it fund conferences or meetings;
- Projects involving human subjects, use of vertebrate animals, hazardous materials or recombinant DNA require special consideration;
- Funding is not routinely designated for salaries or per diems but will be considered when justified.
Funding Information
- Grants from this fund usually range between $1,000 and $12,500.
- Grants period will not exceed one year.
