What kind of research does DHFMR support?
DHFMR supports medical and biomedical research. The Foundation programs will include collaborative research initiatives between developing or existing research programs and laboratories at Harvard Medical School and similar programs at academic and research facilities in the Middle East. These collaborations are identified as DHFMR Collaborative Research Centers, and will provide multi-year opportunities for researchers and scientists to focus on diseases and health issues relevant to the populations of the Middle East region. DHMFR also supports research for individual researchers and scientists at the post-doctoral level for 3-year Research Fellowships. Ideally, these individuals will be in the early stage of their career Young Investigators, who show the promise and talent to become the Middle East region’s future leaders in scientific research can become Research Fellowship recipients will train at a Harvard Medical School laboratory and will be expected to return to the region to
Proposed research activities may draw upon recent advances in the basic medical and biomedical sciences – including such fields as biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, immunology, molecular biology, and pharmacology – that provide new opportunities for alleviating human disease.
