Human Frontier Science Program

Subsequent discussions involving scientists from G7 summit nations and the European Union led to the "London Wise Men's Conference" in April 1987, endorsing the idea.

HFSPO secures financial backing from a range of governments and research councils, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, Switzerland, the UK, USA, and the European Commission, representing non-G7 EU members.

These contributions are consolidated into a unified budget, which is used to fund research fellowships and grants through HFSPO's peer review system, with a primary emphasis on science.

International peer review is a fundamental part of the awarding process, involving two committees—one for Fellowships and one for Research Grants, each composed of 24 to 26 scientists.

Recipients of the Award: Launched in October 2006, the HFSP Journal aims to foster communication between scientists publishing innovative research at the frontiers of the life sciences.

The HFSP Journal offers its authors the option to pay a fee to make their research articles Open Access immediately upon publication.
