Human Frontier Science Program

Here is a call that is particularly relevant for several researchers at Biomedicine. HFSP is the funding program for basic research in life sciences. It requires international collaboration and does not fund applied/medical research. Projects are bottom-up high-risk projects. No preliminary results are required.
Research Grants | Human Frontier Science Program (hfsp.org)
HFSP Research Grants support innovative basic research into fundamental biological problems with emphasis placed on novel and interdisciplinary approaches that involve scientific exchanges across national and disciplinary boundaries. a) Research Grants: 900.000-1.500.000 USD, 3 years. For international teams of 2-4 researchers. There are separate calls for early and established researchers. Deadline: 28 March 2024
b) Postdoctoral Fellowships: 3-year fellowships. The host institution cannot be located in the country where the applicant has obtained a doctorate or worked as a postdoctoral fellow, nor can the applicant be a citizen of the host country. The applicant cannot have worked with the supervisor at the host institution previously. Deadline: annual, May

Science in Shorts science communication award

The Science in Shorts science communication award from Nature Awards together with Merck recognizes creative research videos from active researchers employed by a university or research institution working in any scientific discipline.
https://www.nature.com/immersive/scienceinshorts/index.html
Applicants must hold an advanced degree, such as MSc, PhD or MD. The video should tell the world about the research in 1 minute, explaining “what are you doing and why does it matter”. Up to 10 videos will be selected as favorites and will win a prize of 5,000 EUR each. Audio or text must be in English.
Applications close January 29, 2024 at 23:59 midnight (UTC 00:00).
