Drug Delivery Predoctoral Fellowship

The PhRMA Foundation Predoctoral Fellowship in Drug Delivery provides support for promising students (U.S. and non-U.S. citizens) in advanced stages of training and thesis research in drug delivery research, including basic pharmaceutics, biopharmaceutics, pharmaceutical technology, pharmaceutical biotechnology, or biomedical engineering. The fellowship provides $30,000 per year for up to 2 years (12, 18, or 24 months) to support doctoral candidates who have completed most of their pre-thesis requirements and are engaged in thesis research. Research areas could include formulation composition and drug delivery technologies, development of CMC processes for challenging chemical entities, and predictive approaches including modeling, simulation, and machine learning. Proposals must include a clearly defined therapeutic payload and target tissue, as well as rationale for dosing and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic feasibility. This two-stage application process requires submission of a letter of intent followed by a full application for selected candidates.
